I guess not many universities offer a Ph.D. in non-physical chemistry these days. :(

 The choices in my day at Melbourne University in Australia  were Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. Win Hill started a Ph.D. in Chemical Physics at MIT at much the same time. It's more a theological distinction than anything with any real world significance, but John Larkin never paid much attention to his undergraduate chemistry lectures. I completed a master's degree in Inorganic Chemistry on the way to getting my Ph.D.
 The clever thing to have done at the time would have been physical organic chemistry, and the Melbourne professor of Physical Organic Chemistry moved to America while I was getting my Ph.D, and took a couple of his graduate students with him.
 

I've been thinking about doing a mid-life master's degree, though some of my buddies in comp sci tell me there's not much point to a "terminal master's degree" these days and should just go for a PhD if one's going to bother putting the money down. Biomedical engineering is my interest at this time. I hear there are some great programs at Canadian schools, never been a better time to see the world I think...
