俄勒冈州立大学化学系拥有一个蓬勃发展的研究生课程，目前有120多名研究生。每位学生都由19位活跃研究人员中的一位指导，他们在分析化学，有机化学，材料/无机，物理，核化学或计算化学领域进行培养。我们的学生不仅在小组内工作，而且还经常有机会在小组之间开展工作，从而创造了推动尖端科学合作的机会。俄勒冈州立大学化学系拥有一个蓬勃发展的研究生课程，目前有120多名研究生。每位学生都由19位活跃研究人员中的一位指导，他们在分析化学，有机化学，材料/无机，物理，核化学或计算化学领域进行培养。我们的学生不仅在小组内工作，
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.<br>Organic Chemistry<br><br>Organic chemists investigate the structure, properties, and reactions of compounds that contain carbon. Organic compounds are all around us, they are in our DNA, peptides and proteins and they are central to the economic growth of the U.S., in industries such as plastics, fuel, pharmaceutical, coatings, and agrichemicals. Organic chemists are also skilled at selectively modifying molecules to enhance a desired activity and specificity of action, while decreasing undesired side effects.
