Preparation and presentation of seminars usually on subjects of current interest taken from the literature. Completion of 1 credit hour required for MS degree.

A study of the physical properties of macromolecular systems including polymer solutions, gels, bulk polymers and rubbers. The characterization of polymers based on their thermal, spectroscopic, microstructure and molecular masses is also discussed.Prerequisite(s): CHEM 5223 or equivalent.

Participation in departmental seminars on current topics in chemistry. One credit hour each fall and spring required for MS and PhD candidates with the exception of the first semester.Offered for variable credit, 1-20 credit hours, maximum of 20 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): Consent of instructor.

Independent investigation under the direction and supervision of a major professor.Offered for variable credit, 1-15 credit hours, maximum of 60 credit hours.Prerequisite(s): MS degree in chemistry or consent of instructor.

This course provides the foundations of physical chemistry required for all disciplines of chemistry to understand the underlying principles necessary to advance at the graduate level. This core treatment will address thermodynamics and equilibria, chemical kinetics, quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, and statistical thermodynamics. These topics will provide the conceptual learning critical for interdisciplinary applications of physical chemistry.Prerequisite(s): CHEM 3433 and CHEM 3153, or equivalent.

Introduction to chemical research topics of interest to the department. Special emphasis placed on ethics, plagiarism, codes of conduct, research notebooks, publishing, and presentations.Prerequisite(s): Graduate standing.
