化学理学硕士-材料和物理化学

化学系提供研究生课程，包括文学硕士，理学硕士和哲学博士学位，重点是分析化学，无机化学，核化学，有机化学，物理化学和固态化学。该研究生课程旨在利用即将到来的学生的先前经验。研究由学生选择的教职人员进行。每个学生在教职顾问和委员会的帮助下确定其课程计划。课程分配可以提高技术技能，并为高级化学和物理概念提供广泛而牢固的背景。学生选择适当的课程，这将为独立学习和研究提供最佳准备。
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry at the University of Maine. We are proud to be the only university in the State of Maine to offer Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in chemistry. Our faculty and graduate students are actively engaged in research that spans a broad range of chemistry. The smaller size of research groups in our department allows for a high degree of student-faculty interaction. Many groups have interdisciplinary research projects that provide opportunities for collaboration with engineers, materials scientists, biological scientists or disciplinary based education researchers.<br><br>The majority of our graduate students are enrolled in the Ph.D. program and all students are typically supported as teaching assistants in their first year. Research assistantships are also available, usually starting in the second year. All students in good standing are guaranteed financial support through the completion of their degrees.<br>Nanoscience and Materials<br><br>When materials are synthesized on the length scale of nanometers, their properties often behave dramatically different from bulk materials. Research in this area focuses on the relationship between the microstructure and the macroscopic properties of materials used in applications from plastics and coatings, to ceramics and catalysis, to biocompatible materials for prosthetics. The field is very multidisplinary, and uses highly specialized instrumentation for imaging and manipulating matter at the nanoscale.
