Certificate in Materials Chemistry
The following three graduate certificate programs are available:
- Synthesis and Characterization of Inorganic Materials
- Synthesis and Characterization of Organic Materials
- Characterization of Inorganic and Organic Materials
To earn a certificate in materials chemistry, a minimum of 12 credit hours of coursework from the following two groups of courses is required. At least one course must be chosen from Group A and at least one course must be chosen from Group B. The remaining credit hours may be chosen from either group, depending upon the certificate program. Each of these courses, if completed with a "B" or higher, may be later applied toward the Master of Chemistry in Materials Chemistry degree if a student applies and is accepted to the degree program.
