• The Department of Chemistry offers work leading to the Master of Science (MSc) degree through either a Thesis Plan or an Applied Chemistry Plan.
  • The program is designed to prepare graduate students for continuation to the Ph.D. level or other professional training, or for immediate employment in advanced positions in government, industry, or education.
  • The program accommodates individual career objectives for those with degrees in chemistry and allied fields and allows those with minors in chemistry to pursue advanced work and placement in the field.
  • The department also provides in-service training to chemists and chemical educators who are not candidates for the MS degree.
  • The Integrated Baccalaureate and Master’s degree program (IBMP) in Chemistry provides an opportunity for outstanding undergraduate Chemistry/Biochemistry/Forensic Chemistry majors to complete both a Bachelor of Science degree in Forensic Chemistry and a Master of Science degree in Chemistry in five years.
  • In addition to earning both degrees a year early, the integrated programs may include additional opportunities to participate in a variety of experiential educational activities such as a Master’s project or thesis.
