The program leading to obtaining a Doctoral Degree emphasizes the attainment of a high level of competency in a specialized area of chemistry, but also requires the development of a broad knowledge, at least partly through course work and by attending research seminars. By the time the degree is earned, the student should show promise of becoming a capable and independent research scientist. The major emphasis for the Ph.D. degree is on research.
The Department of Chemistry offers a Ph.D. in chemistry that is internationally well-respected in both industry and academia. Students may choose to focus on one of the following six specialized areas of chemistry or to pursue research projects spanning multiple areas.
The Master of Arts for Teachers (MAT) Degree is designed to prepare individuals for teaching in secondary schools and community colleges, directing community outreach programs, corporate trainers, and laboratory directors just to name a few possible career paths. This program can be completed in a two-year full-time year-round program or in a four-year summer only program.
In addition, Department of Chemistry faculty members participate in several interdepartmental programs.
