Overview

Important elements of our program include the atmosphere of active research programs, state-of-the-art facilities, good advising, high quality challenging courses, the opportunity to talk with many well-known visiting scientists, and an active residential campus.

The Department of Chemistry is affiliated with two graduate programs: the Ph.D in Photochemical Sciences and the M.S. in Chemistry at the Bowling Green State University. The doctoral Photochemical Sciences program is overseen collaboratively with the Center for Photochemical Sciences.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the graduate degree, students in Chemistry are expected to be able to:

Demonstrate the ability to apply quantum mechanical methods to predict observable properties for molecular motions including translation, rotation and vibration.

Demonstrate the ability to analyze molecular electronic wave functions to characterize bonding and stability.

Demonstrate an active knowledge of fundamentals of organic reaction mechanisms and methods for their elucidation, analyzing the mechanism and understand the mechanistic diagrams.

Demonstrate an understanding of selected topics of physical organic chemistry including stereochemistry principles, and interpret the application of reactive intermediates in chemistry.

Demonstrate the ability to analyze a wide variety of spectral data to determine an unknown molecule’s composition and structure.

Demonstrate the ability to evaluate previous scientific conclusions as they apply to a new area of investigation.

Demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate original scientific findings.
