MA/MS in Chemistry

This master's program offers advanced study in organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemistry and biochemistry. Coursework is paired with laboratory experience in chemical analysis, molecular structure and reactions. Faculty-mentored research teaches students to turn complex findings from the literature into clear talks and written documents, while stressing ethics and integrity in science. Optional focus areas include polymer, environmental and pharmaceutical chemistry. Applications are taken on a rolling basis for a fall or spring start, and the GRE is not required. M.S. students are not eligible for research or teaching assistantships. Advanced courses include topics such as statistical thermodynamics, and the program is run by the Chemistry and Biochemistry department. Application fee waivers can be requested by contacting the department before starting the graduate application through the centralized service.
