Hello everyone here at Chemicalforums!  I am new to this board, and had a quick question right off the bat.  I am finishing up my second year in chemistry at my university.  Ideally, I'd like to attend graduate school for studies in Materials Chemistry, however I am not sure what courses to take to prepare myself for it.  Here is a list of courses that I think would be related, that are offered at my school:

-Surfaces and Solids
-Computational Chemistry
-Introduction to Polymer Chemistry
-Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
-NMR Spectroscopy

Which of these would be the most helpful?
Note: I did omit courses that are required for the major.  These are electives.  Also, I don't want to be limited to chemistry courses. If there are courses outside chemistry that would prove useful, then list those as well.
Thank you.

For materials chemistry, I think my first choice would be surfaces and solids. Some parts of each of the others would be useful, but I think all of this course would be.
