The Master of Science in Chemistry (M.S.) is a thesis-based M.S. degree requiring 31 credit hours. Four hours each in Chemistry 490 (Research) and Chemistry 499 (Master's Thesis) are required as part of the 31-hour program, although most students will register for more than the total of eight required hours while pursuing the degree. Students select a research advisor and work closely with that faculty member to complete a thesis based upon original research. Upon completion of a written thesis, a final oral examination/thesis defense is required. The program is broad-based. It allows students to specialize in any of the sub disciplines (physical, organic, inorganic, analytical, biochemistry, or chemical education), although coursework is required in at least four sub disciplines. The requirements to complete the M.S. degree include 21 hours of 400- and/or 300-level courses including a minimum of 12 credit hours of courses at the 400 level; students must take 400-level courses in at least three sub disciplines. One hour of credit in Literature Seminar (Chemistry 492) and one hour of credit in Research Seminar (Chemistry 494) are also required.
