Degree Offered
Doctor of Philosophy
Program Description
The Department of Chemistry offers outstanding research and educational opportunities in its graduate programs, leading to the master of science or doctoral degrees. The heart of the graduate degree is research, conducted in concert with a faculty mentor. The program requires 24 hours of course work, and students are advanced to Ph.D. candidacy after successfully completing a literature seminar (4th term) and research meeting (5th term). The program emphasizes development of the whole scientist.
Subspecialty areas of research within the Department of Chemistry include: photochemistry; molecular spectroscopy; biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and nanotechnology; organometallic catalysis, physical organic chemistry, bioorganic, theoretical chemistry, and chemical dynamics.
General Information
For more detailed and comprehensive information about the master of science and doctoral programs in chemistry, students should consult the most recent edition of the Chemistry Department’s Graduate Student Handbook. This publication defines the current rules and guidelines that govern department and program requirements.
Second Language Requirements
Normally, no reading knowledge of a second language is required in either the master’s or doctoral programs. However, at the discretion of the student’s thesis or dissertation committee, proficiency in a second language may be required if it is necessary in the student’s research.
Proficiency Examinations
Incoming chemistry students must pass three proficiency examinations, which may be selected from among the four traditional areas of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry). Incoming chemical physics students must pass proficiency examinations in physics, physical chemistry, and one other area of chemistry. These examinations can be repeated up to two times each, and the student must pass three by the end of his/her second term of full-time study or the equivalent.
CAREER SKILLS REQUIREMENT FOR PH.D. STUDENTS
Marquette University is committed to preparing our students to become exemplary leaders in their chosen academic and professional fields by preparing them for careers in which they find purpose and value by engaging in Ignatian pedagogical reflection and practice. The purpose of the career skills requirement is to ensure all doctoral students have the opportunity to reflect on their desired career and to acquire essential career-related skills needed for them to pursue their chosen path.
Students enrolled in Ph.D. programs in Fall 2024 and beyond at Marquette must complete three career skills requirements. Requirements are satisfied by one or more of approved courses, workshops, or practical experiences in each category, as approved by the Graduate School. Completion of each skill will be noted on the student’s transcript.

Chemistry Doctorate
Specializations: Analytical Chemistry, Bioanalytical Chemistry, Biophysical Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Inorganic Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry
A program for the doctoral degree is determined by the student’s research adviser in consultation with the student’s dissertation committee.
A doctoral student must complete a program of study defined on an approved Doctoral Program Planning Form. Normally, the student will be required to complete 24 credit hours of course work and 12 credit hours of CHEM 8999 Doctoral Dissertation for a total of 36 post-bachelor’s degree credit hours. An intense program of laboratory instruction and research to begin no later than the second term of study is also required. Six credit hours of course work may be CHEM 6995 Independent Study in Chemistry. In addition, seminar course work (CHEM 6960 Departmental Seminar, CHEM 6953 Literature Seminar, CHEM 8953 Research Seminar) is required for the program but earns no credit. A third year research meeting consisting of a written report and oral presentation constitutes a qualifying examination; in addition, advancement to doctoral candidacy is contingent upon maintaining a 3.000 grade point average at the end of the fourth term of study in at least 15 credit hours of formal (non-CHEM 6995) course work. The student must submit a dissertation describing a significant body of independent research carried out in concert with a faculty mentor. The dissertation must be of a caliber that would be publishable in the leading scientific journals. A public defense of the dissertation is required.
