Courses in the Department The graduate course options for the M.S. program are the same as those for the Ph. D. program. The courses typically offered in each of the four traditional areas of chemistry are listed below. All graduate chemistry courses listed on a student's Program of Study must be passed with a grade of B or better. Consult the Graduate Course Catalog for specific course descriptions. Analytical (CHEM 88x0) Inorganic (CHEM 82x0) Organic (CHEM 83x0) Physical (CHEM 89x0) CHEM 8810 CHEM 8210 CHEM 8300 CHEM 8290 CHEM 8820 CHEM 8220 CHEM 8310 CHEM 8930 CHEM 8830 CHEM 8230 CHEM 8320 CHEM 8940 CHEM 8840 CHEM 8240 CHEM 8330 CHEM 8950 CHEM 8850 CHEM 8250 CHEM 8340 CHEM 8960 CHEM 8860 CHEM 8290 CHEM 8350 CHEM 8990 CHEM 8890 CHEM 8370 CHEM 8390 Courses outside the Department Each M.S. student may include a graduate course outside the Department of Chemistry on his or her Program of Study to allow for exposure to a broader base of advanced or interdisciplinary subject matter. A course offered by departments other than Chemistry may be listed on the student's Program of Study, as long as it is approved by the student's research advisor and Advisory Committee. For the M.S. degree, a maximum of one of the four required graduate courses may be taken outside the Chemistry Department. Any graduate course taken outside the Chemistry Department and listed on the student's Program of Study must be passed with a grade of B or better. MS Degree Seminars Each M.S. student must register for the appropriate section of CHM 8120-8150 (seminar) every non-summer semester in residence. The student must give one seminar and receive at least a B grade.
