Chemistry is concerned with knowledge of the structures, properties and reactions of matter, and evolving theories to explain observations, predict chemical behavior and suggest experiments. The Othmer Department of Chemical and Biological Sciences and Engineering offers a full complement of graduate courses in various aspects of Chemistry. Graduates are prepared for positions at educational institutions, research institutes, industrial organizations and government laboratories.
The goals of the Master of Science program are to advance student's knowledge and experience beyond the BS level, and equip them with the needs of a changing industrial environment.
The goal of the PhD program is to offer candidates an opportunity to learn various aspects of materials chemistry, especially associated with polymers and biological materials.
Admission Requirements:
Admission to graduate studies in chemistry requires a sound foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry. College preparation should include at least four semesters of mathematics, two semesters of physics, and all basic chemistry courses (analytical, inorganic organic and physical). In addition, it is desirable for students to have had differential equations, atomic and nuclear physics, and two years of German, Russian or French. All applicants are required to take the Graduate Record Examination (General and Chemistry). Applicants whose native language is other than English must score at least 550 on the TOEFL. All teaching assistants must pass HU 521 or an oral examination given by the Department. Chemistry graduate students cannot take CM 500 level courses for graduate credit.
