\"chemistry<\/a>The University of Central Florida’s College of Sciences’ graduate chemistry program has been ranked ninth<\/strong> of twenty-five U.S. graduate chemistry programs providing excellent career support by GraduatePrograms.com. The College of Sciences is proud of the chemistry department’s achievement.<\/p>\n

Graduate students on GraduatePrograms.com are asked to rate their university’s graduate programs in 15 different categories such as student diversity, academic competitiveness, workload, and career support. Results are then compiled to create lists like the one naming UCF ninth in career support. Students who choose to sign up and rate their university’s graduate program are then entered to win a $1,000 scholarship, awarded once a semester.<\/p>\n

Below is the research methodology behind GraduatePrograms.com’s career support list.<\/p>\n

“Graduateprograms.com reaches current and recent graduate students through scholarship entries as well as social media platforms. These program rankings cover a period from September 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013. Graduateprograms.com assigns 15 ranking categories to each graduate program at each graduate school. Rankings cover a variety of student topics, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network.<\/p>\n

For a given graduate program, rankings are determined by calculating the average score for each program based on the 15 ranking categories. These scores are then compared across all ranked schools for that program and are translated into a final ranking for that graduate program, i.e., business and management. A given graduate program is not ranked until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys is completed for that graduate program.” -GraduatePrograms.com<\/p>\n
