MA/MS in Chemistry

Chemistry graduate programs at Michigan Tech lead to research-focused master's and doctoral degrees. Students work with a faculty advisor in small research groups and use modern analytical instruments, often in interdisciplinary projects. Research areas include analytical, atmospheric, environmental, inorganic, materials, medicinal, organic, physical and polymer chemistry, as well as nanotechnology and computational work. The master's thesis option totals thirty credits at minimum. Applicants are expected to have a strong chemistry background and the motivation to pursue open research questions. Prospective graduate students should consult the department and the graduate school for application steps, funding options and current course schedules before applying. The program is offered at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan. The university website lists advisors, course outlines and degree audits so that applicants can plan their studies in advance and compare options.
