Graduate Classwork
Contents
Graduate students are required to satisfactorily complete six 300-level courses from the offerings of the Department of Chemistry or related departments in the Physical and/or Biological Sciences Divisions and maintain at least a “B” average in all courses taken. Four of these courses must be taken in Chemistry, and at least two of these four courses must be a Chemistry course designated as foundational. The two courses that may be taken outside the department to satisfy this requirement must be approved in advance.
Common Course Tracks
The following examples illustrate lecture courses commonly taken to fulfill the six-course requirement of the graduate program, depending on the research interest of the student. There is no prescribed set of courses required by the graduate program, and students are encouraged to design a program that matches their learning objectives in coordination with their research advisor.
