化学理学硕士

化学系提供了一个灵活而充满活力的环境，可在其中寻求理学硕士学位或化学博士学位。学生有机会与对生物化学，环境化学，化学教育和材料科学，分析化学，无机化学，有机化学和物理化学感兴趣的教师一起工作。我们的教职员工在合成（无机，有机，聚合物和超分子合成），表面化学（催化和腐蚀研究），光谱学（红外激光光谱和拉曼和表面增强拉曼方法的生物分析应用），结构生物学（使用NMR和计算方法）和生物物理研究（包括发现癌症药物）。环境研究计划的重点是新型微型化学传感器的开发以及农药和除草剂的运输，而计算化学家正在开发从头算和半经验
The Department's chemistry faculty research programs fall into the thematic focus areas of environmental chemistry and green chemistry, chemical sensor development, organic synthesis, materials chemistry, natural products chemistry, and chemical education. Within these multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary focus areas, students can select research projects that involve the traditional subdisciplines of chemistry – analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic and physical. Currently active research projects in the Department focus on various aspects of analytical chemistry, drug discover and delivery, synthesis or photoactive materials including polymers, materials chemistry and self assembly, chromatography, the chemistry of cell membranes, cancer biology, environmental and green chemistry, chemistry of climate change, photo-physical chemistry, natural products synthesis, biophysical chemistry, computational chemistry, and solid-state NMR. For additional information about these options review the descriptions of current faculty research interests on the Department website.<br><br>In addition to a traditional thesis-based (Option A) M.S. degree, the Department also offers a predominantly online Chemistry M.S. with chemical education specialization. This is a non-thesis (Option B) degree that focuses on the content necessary for practicing high school teachers to achieve highly qualified status. Admission in this program is limited to practicing high school science teachers. Students interested in thesis-based M.S. degree in the sub-disciplinary area of chemical education should select the Chemistry (M.S.) program in their application for admission.
