Doctor's degree Chemistry - Northeastern University

Doctor's degree Chemistry from Northeastern University is a Campus Ph.D Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. For prospective students who are also full-time employees in companies, the possibility of earning a chemistry Ph.D. degree while maintaining the same employment status is a very unusual and exciting one. We have designed a graduate program, which we refer to as a ?Co-op Ph.D.?, in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology that allows the attainment of a Ph.D. under special circumstances through a cooperative arrangement between a sponsoring company and Northeastern University . The Co-op Ph.D. program is targeted for students who normally will already have an approved M.S. degree and multiple years of employment in a chemical-related industry. Employed students who do not yet have the M.S. degree would ordinarily complete first the M.S. degree through our part-time program. In the Co-op Ph.D. program, the student?s company sponsors the student?s tuition for the duration of study. The company also provides a thesis committee member from the company as one of the research mentors, and ordinarily would also provide some of the financial support for the thesis research project, as well as making available some of the employee?s time for research either at the company or on campus. In essence, a collaborative research project is developed that involves joint supervision by a Northeastern professor and an industry-based supervisor. The arrangement will include execution of legal agreements, including intellectual property rights and intent to disseminate research results. Students in the Co-op Ph.D. program complete all of the usual requirements for the Ph.D. degree . These include: completion of two additional courses (normally Research Skills and Ethics, plus one other); passing the cumulative exam series; satisfying seminar requirements, including presentation of seminars and attendance at seminars and colloquia; making regular satisfactory progress on a Ph.D. research project, as judged by the thesis committee; and successful completion and defense of a Ph.D. thesis. A maximum of five years is allowed for the completion of degree requirements after the establishment of doctoral degree candidacy, according to University regulations.
