The aim of the department is to provide certain service courses
for other departments whose subject matter is based, in part, on
the fundamentals of chemistry; a cultural background for those who
are interested in science and desire the B.S. or B.A. degree but
do not wish to become professional chemists; and proper education
for those who wish to become professional chemists.

The Department of Chemistry offers a Master
of Science degree. Requirements for admission are (a) a grade
point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and a satisfactory score on
the GRE Aptitude Test (a TOEFL score of 525 when applicable); (b)
20 hours of approved undergraduate chemistry, including 12 advanced;
(c) 8 hours of approved physics and 6 hours of calculus. Students
not satisfying these requirements may be admitted conditionally.
The department, in examining the applicant's prerequisites, may
accept equivalent hours or require additional work. An entering
graduate student is normally subjected to four placement examinations
in organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry that are
used for advising the student's beginning course work.
