The areas of chemistry available for advanced degree work are analytical, inorganic, organic and physical, with a particular focus on materials and biological chemistry. The program in chemistry is designed to encourage a broad education while remaining flexible enough to permit students to pursue their own interest and to develop programs to satisfy their goals. The specific requirements for admission to the graduate program are a minimum of 28 semester hours for chemistry, including general, analytical, organic and physical chemistry. A general physics course and mathematics through differential and integral calculus are also required. The primary emphasis of the graduate program is on the Ph.D. track, and admission and financial aid are given to those students intending to pursue the Ph.D. option. A full description of the separate degree requirements is provided in above web link.
