 *These members of the faculty of Florida Atlantic University are also
members of the graduate faculty of the University of Florida and par-
ticipate in the doctoral program in the University of Florida Department
of Chemistry.
 The Department of Chemistry offers the Master of
Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with speciali-
zation in analytical, organic, inorganic, or physical
chemistry. The nonthesis degree Master of Science in
Teaching is also offered with a major in chemistry.
 New graduate students should have adequate under-
graduate training in inorganic, analytical, organic, and
physical chemistry. Normally this will include as a
minimum a year of general chemistry which may include
qualitative analysis, one semester of quantitative analysis,
one year of organic chemistry, one year of physical
chemistry, and one semester of advanced inorganic
chemistry. Additional courses in instrumental analysis,
advanced physical and organic chemistry are desirable.
Deficiencies in any of these areas may be corrected dur-
ing the first year of graduate study. Such deficiencies are
determined by a series of placement tests given prior to
registration, and the results of these tests are used in
planning the student's program.


 The offerings CHM 5157, 5300, 6470, 6471, 6620,
 6710, 6720, 6730, and CHS 5110 constitute a series of
 core courses designed to provide graduate students with
 a well-rounded background in the broad area of chem-
 istry. Doctoral candidates are required to complete CHM
 6470 plus three other core courses outside the major
 area. Additional courses are taken upon recommenda-
 tion of the student's supervisory committee or major pro-
 fessor, so that the total number of credits in courses
 acceptable for graduate credit is at least 28 hours. At least
 16 semester hours of these courses must be in 6000 level
 or higher courses in chemistry.
 Candidates must serve not less than one year as teach-
 ing assistants. This requirement will be waived only
 when, in the opinion of the department, unusual cir-
 cumstances justify such action.
 A chemical-physics option is offered for students who
 will be doing research in areas of physical chemistry
 which require a strong background in physics. For this
 option, the requirement in chemistry is CHM 6470, plus
 two other core courses. In addition, a minimum of 15
 credits in 4000 level or higher physics courses or a
 minimum of eight such credits in physics and eight in
 4000 level or higher mathematics courses is required.
 Candidates for the master's degree are required to
 complete any two core courses. The Master of Science
 degree in chemistry requires a thesis. The nonthesis
 degree Master of Science in Teaching is offered with a
 major in chemistry and requires a written paper of
 substantial length (30-50 pages) on an approved topic
 pertaining to some phase of chemistry, under the course
 CHM 6905.
