MA/MS in Chemistry

This chemistry master's degree readies students for further graduate study or for employment in industry, government or education. Graduate courses span most subdisciplines of the field, from organic and physical chemistry to polymers. The program normally takes two full years. Students complete at least seven graduate-credit courses among them research credit, thesis work and a seminar, and they show proficiency in four areas of chemistry while concentrating thesis work in one. A thesis proposal examination must be passed within the first part of the program. A separate Master of Arts is a summer program for high school chemistry teachers.
