Diploma in Chemistry

• Theoretical & Practical Mastery: Deep understanding of major chemical branches (organic, inorganic, physical, biochemistry).
• Laboratory Expertise: Proficiency in analytical techniques, safe experimentation, and instrumentation.
• Analytical Skills: Ability to interpret data, solve complex problems, and use scientific literature.
• Communication: Effective presentation of research findings, both orally and in writing.
• Professionalism: Application of ethical standards in data reporting and professional settings.

A bachelor’s degree in chemistry or a related discipline with a minimum GPA of 3.0 out of 4.0, is required for admission into the program. Admission is also subject to the general university requirements for the graduate program. For those students whose grade records indicate promising ability, but who otherwise did not have adequate preparation in chemistry, admission may be granted under the requirement that remedial courses will be taken.

• Core Courses: Students typically select from advanced graduate-level courses, such as:
  • CHEM 5200 – Environmental Physical Chemistry (3 cr.)
  • CHEM 5201 – Biochemistry (3 cr.)
  • CHEM 5203 – Advanced Organic Chemistry (3 cr.)
  • CHEM 5204 – Methods of Structure Determination (3 cr.)
• Electives/Specialization: Courses are selected in consultation with a faculty advisor to tailor the program to specific career goals (e.g., in the petrochemical or food industries).
• Total Credits: 18.
