Credits must include at least one graduate-level course in three of the five areas of organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, or biochemistry. The candidate must also enroll in CHEM 5195 during each semester of residence. Not more than one hour of CHEM 5195 may be counted toward the 30 credit hour requirement. The normal program for the MS degree in Chemistry may include 6 hours of supporting work from approved fields. A program of specialization in chemical physics may be elected with the permission of the graduate advisor. Such a program may include, within the required 30 hours of credits, up to 12 hours in the related fields (e.g., Physics, Mathematics). Courses of study are designed for each student in consultation with the advisor. Each student must confer with the graduate advisor prior to each registration. The thesis presented for this degree must describe original work related to a research problem of some importance. The thesis must be defended orally.
