Department Chair: James Takacs, Ph.D.
Graduate Committee: Professors Patrick Dussault (graduate chair), Parkhurst, Takacs, Associate Professor, Redepenning
Graduate students may work towards the PhD or MS degree. Graduate courses and research are offered in five divisions of the department: analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
To be in good standing within the department and to engage in research leading to advanced degrees, satisfactory progress must be made in the areas of grade point average, cumulative examinations, research performance and teaching performance. Students in good standing may continue to pursue PhD or MS degrees.
To be admitted to candidacy for advanced degrees students must pass a requisite number of cumulative examinations which are given monthly during the academic year. The student has the option of taking each examination in any of the five divisions. Students must commence taking the examinations no later than the third semester of residence.
Masters Degree.
To fulfill the requirements for Option I, candidates must: a) maintain a sufficiently high GPA, b) pass the required cumulative examinations, and c) pass an oral examination covering their area of preparation and thesis research. Students must specifically apply to the Graduate College for admission to the Option II masters degree before being admitted to the Graduate College. In addition, the student must obtain special permission from the Graduate Committee to work towards this degree option.
Doctor of Philosophy Degree.
To fulfill the requirements for the PhD degree the candidate must: a) maintain a sufficiently high GPA; b) pass the required cumulative examinations; c) pass oral examinations on his/her dissertation research and on an original research proposal; d) present a dissertation which contains significant results of an original investigation under the direction of a member of the department. Qualified students may progress directly toward the PhD degree without obtaining a masters degree.
Specific details of the advanced degree program may be obtained from the departmental Graduate Committee.
Specialization available:
Environmental Studies (MS and PhD)
Chemistry faculty are also active in the toxicology major (MS and PhD) which is offered jointly with UNMC.
