The graduate offerings of the Chemistry Department
are designed to enhance the knowledge of the professional chemist,
to prepare students for entry into the broad areas of research and
development, to strengthen students' preparation for further study,
or to allow for a concentration in chemistry necessary for inter-area
study in fields such as biology, materials science and pharmacy.
Admission to Degree Program
To qualify for admission to a degree program, the applicant should
have completed one year of undergraduate study in each of the following
subjects: calculus, physics, introductory (inorganic) chemistry, analytical
chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. Deficiencies
must be removed during the first year of graduate study. No graduate
credit will be awarded for such compensatory work.
