MA/MS in Chemistry

The Chemistry MS is a flexible research-oriented master's program, and a combined BS/MS route also exists. It is suited to recent graduates and to people employed by chemical firms, secondary schools or two-year colleges who want further training. Students can focus on biological, green, inorganic, organic or physical and analytical chemistry, or on chemistry education. The curriculum pairs substantial coursework with research projects, and part-time scheduling is accommodated where possible.
