The program aims to develop scientists capable of performing research at the frontiers of the science in any of the subdisciplines of chemistry. The SLO's for this program are:
a) complete course work at the frontier of the science;
b) independently perform a significan piece of original research at the frontiers of the science;
c) prepare and defend an original research proposal at the frontier of the science;
d) present background of research and results of original research in an open forum;
e) publish research results in peer reviewed international journals.
2) Where are your program's SLOs published?
