About the course

The Ph.D. degree is offered by the Department in the areas of Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Medicinal, Materials, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. However, many members of the faculty have research interests that cross traditional boundaries to cover a range of interdisciplinary areas. The course of study leading to this degree is designed to provide students with a broad fundamental background in chemistry through a core course curriculum and rigorous experience in a particular area of specialization.

　　The first-year program is flexible and is arranged to prepare students for independent study. Formal coursework is arranged on an individual basis. An advanced degree also represents experience in, and ability to carry out, original research. A majority of the doctoral program will be dedicated to research in the selected area of chemistry. Students entering the Ph.D. program with a baccalaureate degree in chemistry typically take 5 years to complete the program. Dissertation research is undertaken under the supervision of a faculty member of the student's choosing. Students are encouraged to make their selection and begin research at the end of their first semester. More details can be found in the Graduate Student Handbook.
