The doctoral program in chemistry is primarily a research-oriented degree program, although course work is also required as an integral part of the graduate experience and training. Students can pursue research with specialization in the traditional areas of analytical, biological, inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical chemistry, but much of the research is interdisciplinary, crossing the boundaries of these traditional chemical sub-disciplines, or the boundaries between chemistry and the other sciences, for example biological, materials, and environmental sciences. Many chemistry faculty and students participate in university-wide interdisciplinary training programs and centers, including those in biological chemistry, toxicology, pharmacology, molecular biophysics, biologically inspired materials, and cellular and biosurface engineering.
