MA/MS in Chemistry

Saint Joseph's chemistry MS carries a STEM designation and covers recent developments in the field. It builds skills for careers in drug design, pharmacognosy and computational chemistry, and offers original research in labs including the computational chemistry and drug design center named for West. Both thesis and non-thesis routes require thirty credits. Full-time non-thesis study takes two years, and the thesis option takes longer. The program is taught on campus. Current undergraduates may use the 4+1 option, applying in junior year and being conditionally accepted, to earn a bachelor's and master's in five years. Students from related majors should contact the department about eligibility. Prospective applicants can request information or speak with an admission specialist through the program page before deciding to apply.
