About Chemistry ‣ Ph.d. in Purdue University
The aim of the graduate program in chemistry is to provide an environment for a diverse set of individuals to develop the skills to become leaders in scientific research and education. Programs leading to the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are offered in analytical chemistry, biochemistry, chemical education, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. Research in the department is conducted in such interdisciplinary areas as bioanalytical, bioorganic, bioinorganic chemistry, chemical biology, materials chemistry, physical organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and chemical physics. The Graduate Program in Chemistry currently has over 300 graduate students enrolled of which at least 90% are pursuing the Ph.D. degree.
Few formal courses are required for the Ph.D. degree. The purpose of advanced coursework is to build on the foundation gained in undergraduate study to give additional depth in specialty areas of interest to individual students. Students select courses that will equip them for research of high quality, broaden their general background, and aid them in preparing for doctoral exams. Graduate students in Chemistry typically receive financial aid throughout their graduate study (including summers) in the form of graduate teaching assistantships, graduate fellowships or research appointments. Graduate teaching assistantships generally involve laboratory and recitation instruction. Both graduate fellowships and research appointments allow students to devote full-time efforts towards their degree program.
