D O C T O R O F ARTS IN CHEMISTRY, URBAN A

(10) The Urbana-Champaign Senate recommends the establishment of a Doctor of Arts in Chemistry degree in the Department of Chemistry, The Chancellor concurs, as does the Acting Dean of the Graduate College, in the recommendation of the Senate, The Doctor of Arts in Chemistry proposal has undergone extensive review on the Urbana-Champaign campus and has received support at all levels in recognition of the exceptional quality of the proposed program and the faculty that will be directing Doctor of Arts in Chemistry candidates. The Doctor of Arts in Chemistry is designed for an able candidate who wishes to prepare for a position of educational leadership which requires a broad education well beyond the level of a master's degree in chemistry, but not the strong emphasis upon basic research which is provided by the Ph.D. program.
