Teaching assistants must register for a teaching practicum course, but this is not part of the 35 s.h. total. The more flexible portion of the curriculum is the 15 s.h. of content courses in any chemistry disciplines the student chooses, usually in consultation with a faculty advisor. To further broaden the program, up to 8 s.h. of electives may be in or outside of chemistry. Back to the Question List 11. Technology is central to the success of our program.
Chemistry is a technically driven discipline.
We rely upon measurements to perform experimentation and calculations for results of experimentation and for theoretical explorations. All graduate students have accessible to them the wide range of instrumentation and computer facilities within the department. How are the Chemistry Department faculty members accessible to students and describe some ways that they interact with students. Each faculty member within the Chemistry Department maintains regular weekly office hours. However, the accessibility of graduate students to faculty far exceeds any time that may be spent in formal office hours.
