MULTIDISCIPLINARY GRADUATE COURSES

Below is a listing of graduate level courses that are offered outside the Chemistry Department and can be taken to fulfill the graduate course requirements. Additional outside courses can be added to this list by petition to the Graduate Studies Committee that the course provides Ph.D.-level knowledge that is essential to the student's research progress. Graduate students should obtain the approval of their research advisor or the director of graduate studies prior to enrolling in these classes.
