该系提供化学专业的理学硕士（论文或非论文）和哲学博士学位，以及生物化学，分析，有机，无机或物理化学专业。学位授予学位的教学理学硕士课程也设有化学专业。应届毕业生应在无机，分析，有机和物理化学方面接受适当的本科培训。通常，这将至少包括一年的普通化学，一学期的定量分析，一年的有机化学，一年的物理化学和一学期的高级无机化学。需要在仪器分析，生物化学以及高级物理和有机化学方面的其他课程。
The graduate offerings of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry are designed to enhance the knowledge of the professional chemist, to prepare students for entry into the broad areas of research and development, to strengthen students preparation for further study, or to allow for a concentration. The M.S. program in chemistry offers a choice of several areas of concentration: organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, polymer chemistry, biochemistry and theoretical chemistry. This program is designed to prepare students for entry into the broad areas of research and development, to strengthen students' preparation for further study or to allow for a concentration in chemistry necessary for inter-area study in fields such as biology and pharmacy. Graduate assistantships are available on a limited basis.
