How does the Chemistry graduate program make students competitive while they are enrolled in graduate school and after they graduate?
Competitiveness while enrolled in graduate school, as well as in the workplace, is fostered by independence, creative thinking, and a demonstrated ability in problem solving. Our graduate program allows students to develop these important traits within themselves. Development of such skills requires a good knowledge base to build upon. We require students to take a range of core courses that covers the major aspects of their discipline. Further knowledge within the various concentration areas of chemistry is then gained by more specialized courses. After development of a knowledge base, students are then challenged to apply themselves by working on a research thesis. It is during the thesis phase of their tenure as a graduate student that independent working occurs, and creative thinking and problem solving skills are developed. These skills apply to every aspect of a students career and to their everyday lives.
