The Master of Science in Chemistry is intended for students who want skills and experience for work in chemistry-driven industries, a stronger medical school application, or preparation for doctoral study. Its designers aimed for wide opportunity and unusual flexibility in advanced study and research, encouraging individuality, independence and excellence.
Students gain experience across many subfields of chemistry, and the program supports collaboration with other scientific areas on campus. They may also shape their studies around a specific track, choosing physical, organic, inorganic or materials chemistry.
The department's page describes the degree as a way to develop depth in the science, insight into research and practical skill, working alongside faculty active in their fields and drawing on research and entrepreneurial resources at the university. Prospective applicants can use the page to request more information or begin an application. The program suits those who want focused, adaptable graduate training in chemistry without committing at the outset to the length of a full doctoral degree.
