The program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemistry is designed to prepare doctoral-level chemists for all types of research careers.  The student must:

 a) Acquire the practical knowledge of the type of research conducted in industry and of the constraints (both practical and philosophical) under which such research is conducted and

 b) Demonstrate the ability to carry out independent research.

 The areas of research include analytical chemistry, biochemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, colloid and surface chemistry, electrochemistry, inorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, and theoretical chemistry.

Detailed descriptions of all of the following courses may be found in the on-line listing of Graduate Chemistry Courses.
