The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers programs in the five traditional areas of chemistry (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical) leading to the Master of Science in Chemistry (Plan I or Plan II) as outlined in the Academic Policies section of this catalog) and the Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry. The completion of a master's degree is optional for students enrolled in the Ph.D. program.
