化学系提供通往MS和PhD学位的研究和研究计划。通常，化学系高级学位的候选人通常应完成由美国化学学会专业培训委员会制定的最低本科课程。化学研究生课程可能包括编号在500以上的任何化学课程，以及某些经学生咨询委员会批准或在本学期第一学期由本系研究生执行委员会批准的400至500之间的课程。 。化学研究生课程包括高级分析技术，有机化学中的合成和反应机理，分子建模和计算机模拟方法，物理无机和无机反应机理，有机金属，量子力学，分子光谱学和统计热力学以及可持续材料化学。还提供专题课程和研讨会课程。其他课程（例如生物
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Maine. We are proud to be the only university in the State of Maine to offer Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in chemistry. Our faculty and graduate students are actively engaged in research that spans a broad range of chemistry. The smaller size of research groups in our department allows for a high degree of student-faculty interaction. Many groups have interdisciplinary research projects that provide opportunities for collaboration with engineers, materials scientists, biological scientists or disciplinary based education researchers.<br><br>The majority of our graduate students are enrolled in the Ph.D. program and all students are typically supported as teaching assistants in their first year. Research assistantships are also available, usually starting in the second year. All students in good standing are guaranteed financial support through the completion of their degrees.
