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
The Department of Chemistry offers programs of study and research leading to the MS and PhD degrees. Candidates for advanced degrees in the Department of Chemistry normally are expected to have completed the minimum undergraduate program established by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training. The graduate program in chemistry may include any chemistry courses numbered above 500, along with certain courses numbered between 400 and 500 if approved by the student's advisory committee, or in the first semester of study, by the graduate executive committee of the department. Graduate courses in chemistry include advanced analytical techniques, synthesis, and reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, molecular modeling and computer simulation methods, physical inorganic and inorganic reaction mechanisms, organometallics, quantum mechanics, molecular spectroscopy and statistical thermodynamics, and sustainable materials chemistry. Special topics courses and seminar courses are also offered. Suitable courses in other departments such as Biochemistry, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Geology, Mathematics, or Physics may also be included in a student's program of study. Thesis-based research is an integral part of the student's training. Research normally comprises about one-half of the 30 semester hours required in a master's degree program and about two-thirds of the work in a doctoral program.
