Welcome to our Graduate Program The main goal of the Department of Chemistry is the education and training of professional chemists for entry into industry, government, or academia. Graduate students pursue research-oriented programs of study leading to Ph.D. or M.S. degrees. Most graduate students directly pursue a Ph.D. without getting the M.S. degree first, and they can specialize in analytical, inorganic, materials/nano, organic, or physical chemistry. Students can pursue unlimited areas of interdisciplinary research in Chemistry. Program Information and Resources The average Ph.D. student finishes the degree requirements in about five years.
