Chemistry (PhD)

University of Alabama in Huntsville

Doctoral DegreeAcademicCIP: 40.0599

Become a contributor for free to openly demonstrate student outcomes, industry alignment & eligibility criteria.

The PhD in Chemistry provides students with three pathways: 1) academic, 2) entrepreneur, and 3) executive. The academic path provides students a traditional PhD experience with flexibility through a choice of core chemistry courses and individual, mentored courses. The proposed paths within this PhD program are not a simple PhD + MBA combination as found in a few other universities nationally; rather, the chemistry research is integrated within the non-chemistry coursework.
