Course summary
Doctoral degree in biomedical sciences with a specialization in health and environmental chemistry which is centered in the Department of Chemistry. The program requires a strong academic background in the natural sciences. Graduates will have completed a unified program of formal coursework, as well as independent dissertation research, and will possess the theoretical background and practical skills necessary for successful contribution to the solution of environmental and health-related chemical problems. Scientists who graduate with this specialization will be capable of applying state-of-the-art methods to the determination, quantification, and management of a wide variety of naturally occurring and synthetic chemical substances and the related chemical processes. No other doctoral program in Michigan focuses on these particular areas of chemistry, yet the contribution of highly trained doctoral-level scientists are essential to the resolution of major problems facing the nation in these areas. Areas of graduate level proficiency required for the health and environmental chemistry specialization and the courses which fulfill them are as follows: analytical chemistry (CHM 521, 522 or 523), biochemistry (CHM 550, 553, 554 or 555), toxicology (ENV 446 and CHM 581), and environmental science (ENV 485 or 486). In addition to the five proficiency courses, students will take 12 credits of advanced coursework which is related to their dissertation area and 2 credits of doctoral seminar (CHM 685). Attendance at departmental seminars in required. The basic requirements for the Ph.D. in biomedical sciences are completion of a unified program of formal course work and independent research approved by the candidate's dissertation committee and the appropriate specialization committee. All requirements for the degree must be completed within seven years from the time of admission to the program.
Entry requirement for international students
Students will be considered for admission if they hold baccalaureates in biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, engineering or other disciplines related a program specialization. Admission is highly selective; the prospective student should submit a graduate application, official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended, letters of recommendation from three faculty members capable of evaluating scholarly achievements and potential for independent research, and the results of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) including the subject test appropriate to the desired specialization.
