Courses
The Agricultural & Environmental Chemistry Graduate Group allows Graduate Students to design an academic program that suits their needs and interests. Coursework options are divided into four areas of specialization, including analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry, biological & toxicological chemistry, and food, fiber & polymer chemistry. From these areas students choose the courses that they are most interested in taking.
