- Description
- The PhD degree is awarded for original investigation leading to a significant advance of knowledge in a specialized area. Courses and seminars provide necessary background in the knowledge, basic principles, methods and theories of chemistry. Under the guidance of the departmental graduate committee, students complete those courses that best serve their particular needs. In the course of their training, they are expected to demonstrate by appropriate examinations, a breadth of knowledge in chemistry, a perspective of the relation of chemistry to other fields of knowledge-particularly the fields of mathematics, physics and biology-and in-depth competence in a specialized area of chemistry. At the earliest date consistent with their general progress, students select a research topic and begin research.
