MA/MS in Chemistry

The Master of Science in Chemistry is aimed at industry professionals and educators who want to advance their careers. Graduates can become lab managers, chemical researchers, forensic technicians or environmental scientists, or teach from high school through college. The curriculum deepens advanced chemistry knowledge and scientific problem solving. Thirty credits are required, with ten electives that run from electrochemistry to organic synthesis. Neither a thesis nor the GRE is needed. Courses are fully asynchronous online, in accelerated eight-week terms with six starts each year, and the degree can be finished in under two years. The College of St. Scholastica offers admissions counselors who arrange one-on-one meetings and information sessions for prospective graduate students. Total cost and time to finish depend on transfer credits and individual plans, and extra fees or course materials may apply.
