Chemistry EducationStudents who specialize in chemistry education research (Chem. Ed.) must also declare a specific “area” inchemistry (i.e., analytical, inorganic, materials, organic, physical) in which they will study and performgraduate research in addition to their research in chemistry education. The required coursework for studentsin the Chemistry Education Program includes the following:6 credit hours from within their declared area (see above listings) + one of the following two courses:Course # Course Credits Semesters OfferedPSY 652 Methods of Research in Psychology I 4 FASTAT 511 Design and Data Analysis for Researchers 4 FA+ at least 3 credit hours from the following list of courses:Course # Course Credits Semesters OfferedPSY 600F Adv Psychology–Human Learning & Memory 3 FA & SPPSY 600M Adv Psychology–Cognitive Processes 3 FA & SPPSY 692B Cognitive Psychology Seminar (specific topics and credits vary) V (FA, SP, & SU)Out of Area RequirementsOut of area requirements may be fulfilled from the following list of courses, or other out-of-departmentcourses approved by the GOC on a case-by-case basis. Most of these courses do not have graduate levelprerequisites.Courses that satisfy analytical out-of-area: CHEM 530A–F, CHEM 532, CHEM 533, CHEM 537, CHEM 539A-C, CHEM 577Courses that satisfy inorganic out-of-area: CHEM 511, CHEM 551*, CHEM 561, CHEM 563A–F, CHEM 565Courses that satisfy organic out-of-area: CHEM 543, CHEM 545, CHEM 547, CHEM 551*Courses that satisfy physical out-of-area: CHEM 570, CHEM 571, CHEM 575, CHEM 576, CHEM 579Courses that satisfy materials out-of-area: CHEM 515, CHEM 517Courses that satisfy biological out-of-area: CHEM 547 (chemical biology), CHEM 651 (biosynthesis)Note: Since 2008, CHEM 569 has been approved by the GOC on a case-by-case basis as satisfying out-of-arearequirements when the other out-of-area course was from the inorganic area.Out-of-department courses that have been used (or suggested) recently to satisfy out-of-area requirements:BC 511Structural BiologyCBE 514Polymer Science and EngineeringMECH 531Materials EngineeringMECH/BIOM Structure and Function of Biomaterials573PH 531Introductory Solid State PhysicsPH 631Solid State PhysicsPH/ECE 672 Principles of Semiconductors*course taught by multiple divisions, assigned area depends on instructor20
