Complementary Courses
(9-16 credits)
Students will normally take 9-16 credits of CHEM (or approved) courses at the 500 or 600 level.
The M.Sc. program includes course work (typically 3 courses) and a significant research component, culminating in the submission of a thesis. This program typically takes 2 years to complete.
Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Chemistry
Program Requirement:
Thesis
A thesis for the doctoral degree must constitute original scholarship and must be a distinct contribution to knowledge. It must show familiarity with previous work in the field and must demonstrate ability to plan and carry out research, organize results, and defend the approach and conclusions in a scholarly manner. The research presented must meet current standards of the discipline; as well, the thesis must clearly demonstrate how the research advances knowledge in the field. Finally, the thesis must be written in compliance with norms for academic and scholarly expression and for publication in the public domain.

Complementary Courses
Students entering the program with an M.Sc. degree will normally take three (3) graduate-level courses. Students entering without an M.Sc. degree will normally take five (5) graduate-level courses.
Students may be required to take advanced undergraduate courses if background deficient.
The Ph.D. program trains qualified individuals for careers in research, development, and teaching. The Ph.D. degree is considered a research degree and it is awarded primarily for creative work and originality. Stress is laid on the development of independent research. Upon completion of the program, the successful student will not only have contributed to the field of knowledge, but will also have developed skills as an independent, professional scientist. A series of graduate courses is required and will be selected to聽 meet the specific needs of the student (i.e., courses related to current research). Most students require four to five years study to complete the Ph.D. degree. Applicants with a Bachelor's degree may apply directly to the Ph.D. program; an M.Sc. degree is not an admissions requirement
