University of Memphis, Department of Chemistry
Booth # GF306
The Department of Chemistry at the University of Memphis confers degrees at both the
undergraduate (B.S.) and graduate levels (M.S. and Ph.D.). Current research conducted by
the twenty-two faculty within the department is focused in the areas of computational,
medicinal and environmental chemistry and nanomaterials. These projects are facilitated
through two university initiatives, the Computational Research on Materials Institute
(CROMIUM) and the Institute for Nanomaterials Development and Innovation (INDIUM).
Departmental research is supported, in part, through investigator-initiated grants from the NIH,
NSF, PRF, NASA, AHA, and private foundations. www.chem.memphis.edu
University of New Orleans, Department of Chemistry
Booth # GF400
The University of New Orleans provides an exciting research environment in a great city with
low cost of living and plenty of cultural opportunities. All Ph.D. students are fully supported
with stipends starting at $20k/yr, plus tuition is paid by the department. The graduate student
to faculty ratio is great, and the department's strong research environment is highlighted by
the fact that the faculty publication rate is consistently above the regional average, and often
in the top 10 universities. We have a great deal of high quality equipment, and our research is
especially strong in Biochemistry, Materials, and Medicinal Chemistry, though we also cover
the traditional chemistry disciplines. UNO provides a compelling option for graduate school,
and we encourage you to check out our website and plan a visit. http://chem.uno.edu
University of North Carolina, Charlotte, Chemistry Department

Master's of Science in Chemistry: The Department of Chemistry offers a research-based
Master of Science (M.S.) degree. This degree requires successful completion of two
advanced graduate courses (see below), regular participation in departmental seminar
programs, and a thesis based on original research carried out under the direction of a
member of the graduate faculty. Students choose a research advisor during their first
semester in the program and are encouraged to begin hands-on laboratory work as early as
possible.
Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science: The Ph.D. in Nanoscale Science at UNC Charlotte is an
interdisciplinary program that addresses the development, manipulation, and use of materials
and devices on the scale of roughly 1-100 nanometers in length, and the study of phenomena
that occur on this size scale. Students in the program acquire the knowledge and skills
needed to compete effectively for positions in academic, industrial, or government lab settings
by completing interdisciplinary nanoscale science courses and elective courses, participating
in program colloquia and seminars, working as a member of a team on projects and research
proposals, and making research contributions independently and as part of a team.
