MA/MS in Chemistry

Chemistry degrees at UIC can be earned at master's and doctoral levels, and the faculty also take part in a shared neuroscience concentration. Students may specialize in analytical, biochemical, inorganic, organic, physical, or theoretical chemistry, or in chemistry education. Concentrations spanning departments include batteries and catalysts, drug discovery, and nanoscience together with neuroscience. Advanced coursework covers statistical mechanics, biochemistry, and chemical information systems. The Master of Science suits students who want to broaden command of several subfields or prepare for later doctoral research, and the concentrations let them steer their work toward questions they care about. Applicants with a particular subfield in mind can consult the department's pages on faculty and research groups.
