The Department of Chemistry offers the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees with spe- cialization 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 un- dergraduate training in inorganic, analytical, organic, and physical chemistry. Normally this will include as a minimum a year of general chemistry which may in- clude qualitative analysis, one semester of quantita- tive analysis, one year of organic chemistry, one year of physical chemistry, and one semester of advanced inorganic chemistry. Additional courses in instrumen- tal analysis, advanced physical and organic chemistry are desirable. Deficiencies in any of these areas may be corrected during the first year of graduate study. Such deficiencies are determined by a series of place- ment tests given prior to registration, and the results of these tests are used in planning the student's pro- gram. Doctoral candidates are required to complete a series of courses specified by the division of the Chemistry Department in which they choose to ma- jor, CHM 6470, and two out-of-major-division courses or equivalent examinations. Additional courses may be required by the student's supervisory committee or major professor. Candidates must serve not less than one year is teaching assistants. This requirement will be waived only when, in the opinion of the Department, un- usual circumstances justify such action. A chemical-physics option is offered for students who will be doing research in areas of physical chem- istry which require a strong background in physics. For this option, a student meets the departmental re- quirements for concentration in physical chemistry, except that only one out-of-major division course is required. 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.
