MA/MS in Chemistry

The chemistry master's program prepares students for doctoral study, roles in chemistry-related industries, or teaching at two-year institutions. The program is suited to learners who want a solid grounding in the discipline before moving on to a next step. Students can choose between a research thesis and a non-thesis path. Advising is handled by faculty, and the department provides separate course requirement forms for each option. Students can focus on research or broaden their coursework depending on their goals. Thesis students complete a research project, while non-thesis students take additional coursework. Graduates often continue to doctoral programs or move into laboratory and industry positions. The degree offers a flexible pathway for students at different stages of their scientific training. Students can request the course requirement form for their chosen option.
