Graduate Programs - Core Courses

The core courses provide a solid, broad basis for specialization and therefore must be included in all study plans for the masters' and doctoral degrees. On occasion, a student who has already completed comparable graduate courses may be allowed to omit one or more of the core courses and proceed to more advanced work, but this must be approved by the Program Advisor and shown on the Study Plan. For example, core courses completed as part of the M.S. degree are not repeated in the Ph.D. program but must be shown on the Ph.D. Study Plan.

Physical Chemistry
Other Areas of Specialization

Programs in other areas of specialization, such as Polymer Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc, can be designed by including the appropriate courses in that area and completing a research topic in the sub discipline as approved by the research advisor.

Electives

To complete the course requirements for the degree a student may choose additional courses with the approval of the advisor. Special courses are frequently offered under the title of special (or Selected) Topics, which can be included with the permission of the advisor. Some courses are offered as reading courses, with no designated lecture schedule.
