Curriculum Fit	The course is an important offering for graduate students in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Chemistry. As enrollment in the chemistry graduate program increases, there is increasing demand for greater breadth in our course offerings. The proposed course was previously offered by the Department of Chemistry on the quarter system as CHEM 662/862, but was unintentionally dropped from the UT course catalog during the quarter to semester conversion nearly a decade ago. The department offered this course as a special topics course in Spring 2000 and Spring 2005. We now seek to reinstitute the course and add it to the course catalog.
