The Graduate School Departments and Course Descriptions of importance to the profession. The student will participate in the planning, managerial, budgetary, experimental, and reporting aspects of his/her research projects. The result will be a thesis (for the Master’s degree) or a dissertation (for the Ph.D.), both of which should result in at least one journal or conference publication for the student. Active research interests of the faculty are listed on the Web at http://www.cheg.uark.edu/research.asp. General Requirements for the M.S. Degree: 24 hours of course work consisting of nine hours of graduate-level CHEG graduate core courses (including CHEG 5113), three hours of CHEG electives, six hours of mathematics, and six hours of electives. Also, research resulting in a successfully-defended thesis, six hours of Master’s Thesis credits, enrollment in the CHEG Graduate Seminar each semester, and assisting in departmental teaching are required. General Requirements for the Ph.D. from the M.S. Degree: 24 hours of course work consisting of graduate-level CHEG and core courses, CHEG electives, mathematics, and electives as determined by the student’s advisory committee. Also, research resulting in a successfully-defended dissertation, 24 hours of Doctoral Dissertation credits if the student successfully defended a Master’s thesis or 30 if not, passing the department’s Ph.D. candidacy and qualifying exams, enrollment in the CHEG Graduate Seminar each semester, and assisting in departmental teaching are required. A non-thesis M.S. can be earned by students in the Ph.D. program if they enter the program without an M.S. in CHEG, pass 30 hours of course work of the 48 required for the Ph.D. with a GPA of at least 3.00, pass the department’s Ph.D. candidacy and qualifying exams, and receive the approval of their advisory committee.

Primary Areas of Faculty Research: Four specialized centers complement traditional research areas in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. These include the Center for Protein Structure and Function, the Center for Sensing Technology and Research, the Arkansas Center for Space and Planetary Sciences, and the State-Wide Mass Spectrometry Facility. Admission to Graduate Program: In addition to the application for admission to the Graduate School and the transcripts required for Graduate University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
The Graduate School Departments and Course Descriptions School admission, applicants for admission to the degree programs of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry must submit a.) three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with the applicant’s previous academic and professional performance and b.) official scores from the Graduate Record Examination (General Test). Advanced subject GRE tests scores (Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc.) are encouraged but not required. Basic Program for Advanced Degree Candidates: In addition to the material given below, the student is referred to the general Graduate School requirements mentioned earlier in this catalog and to the bulletin Information for Graduate Students in Chemistry and Biochemistry available from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. 1. An undergraduate program, consisting of courses in general chemistry, analytical chemistry (two semesters), organic chemistry (three semesters), physical chemistry (two semesters), and inorganic chemistry (one semester) provide an adequate foundation for graduate work in chemistry and biochemistry. If a graduate student lacks any part of this introductory program, it must be completed within the first four semesters as a graduate student. If the student has the necessary prerequisites, courses for graduate credit may be taken concurrently. Proficiency in physical chemistry must be demonstrated by satisfactory performance on placement examinations. Inadequate performance may be remedied by enrollment in one or more recommended courses. 2. The department has no foreign language requirement for either the M.S. or Ph.D. degree. 3. Each advanced degree candidate must present a suitable program of advanced courses and research. The specific courses needed to provide a basis for scholarly work beyond the B.S. level will vary with the student’s undergraduate preparation, area of concentration and the degree sought. Individual course enrollments must be approved initially by the graduate adviser and subsequently by the student’s advisory committee. 4. Every student must register for a minimum of one credit hour of CHEM 600V or 700V in each term during which the student is present and doing thesis or dissertation research. Post-candidacy doctoral students are required to be enrolled in at least one hour of dissertation credit (CHEM 700V) every semester (fall, spring, summer), until the degree is conferred. Additional Requirement for Master of Science Degree: A thesis reporting original research will generally be required of all candidates for the Master of Science degree in chemistry. In certain rare cases, with the approval of the graduate faculty of the department, six hours of CHEM 500V may be substituted for the thesis. A detailed written report of the work in CHEM 500V must be prepared and successfully defended before the candidate’s M.S. committee. The work will involve an extensive review of the chemical literature of a topic approved by the student’s committee. The report will be a comprehensive, interpretive review of the literature similar in quality to that which would appear in a journal published by the American Chemical Society. Additional Requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree: A doctoral advisory committee is appointed to evaluate the candidate’s preparation and to draw up a suitable program of study and research. This committee consists of the student’s major professor and at least three other members of the graduate faculty. Under most circumstances, the major professor serves as the chairperson of that committee. For chemistry students, the candidacy examination is of the cumulative type. Five cumulative examinations are given each semester in each of the areas of concentration mentioned above. To complete the candidacy examination, seven of these cumulative examinations must be passed within a specified time, usually by the end of the fifth semester of graduate work.
