Assistance with the application process is available. Candidates with questions and/or requests for assistance should contact the Admissions Committee's Academic Affairs Administrator: Academic Affairs Administrator Degree Requirements Each student's background and interests determine the course of study. The normal program leads to the Ph.D. degree. A student is not usually accepted into the program for a terminal M.A. degree. Requirements for the M.A. and Ph.D. Degrees Normally, the minimum course requirement for both the M.A. and the Ph.D. degrees is eight one-semester graduate courses in chemistry and related sciences. Exceptionally well-prepared students may ask for a reduction of these requirements. In addition, students may be required to participate in a seminar series. Requirements for the Ph.D. degree include a research dissertation worthy of publication, and a knowledge of chemistry and related material as demonstrated in departmental and Graduate Board oral examinations. Each student must serve as a teaching assistant for at least one year. Requirements for the M.A. degree, in addition to completion of formal course work, include a satisfactory performance on an oral examination. Research experience is considered to be an integral part of the M.A. degree. Accordingly, the departmental oral examination cannot be taken before the spring semester of the student's second year, after the student has had some research experience in our department. Exceptionally well prepared students can petition the Academic Standing Coordinator to take the exam earlier. Financial Aid and Admissions About 80 fellowships, research appointments, and teaching assistantships are available for graduate students. There are no fixed admission requirements. Undergraduate majors in chemistry, biology, earth sciences, mathematics, or physics may apply as well as well-qualified individuals who will have received a B.A. degree. Living in Baltimore
