Chemistry MS

The MS in Chemistry will prepare you for a doctoral program or for a number of careers in research, development, education, and administration. You will learn the skills you need to conduct specialized laboratory research in the highly competitive chemical and biological industries.
Our department cultivates a collegial and congenial environment where you can pursue a flexible program with three specialized tracks of study: applied chemistry, clinical biochemistry, or chemistry and society.
Our program emphasizes student research and individual mentorship: You will learn to write grant proposals for research funding, while designing, conducting, and analyzing research in advanced laboratory courses. Our modern teaching and research laboratories are fully equipped with chemical instrumentation, including spectrometers and chromatographic equipment, and we have specialized laboratories for work requiring an inert atmosphere, biochemistry, polymer chemistry, nanomaterials chemistry, electrochemistry, and computational chemistry.
