Students appreciate our innovative facilities ? including flexible labs ? while learning from some of chemistry?s brightest minds. We offer four options for this degree, each tailored to different career or research goals. Whether you?re planning to pursue a life in the research, teaching, or the business side of chemistry, we can help you get there.

Students choose from four options with this degree: a research-based M.S. with thesis (30 credits); a coursework-based M.S. without thesis; an M.S. with a minor in business administration (34 credits); and a research-based M.S. leading to Ph.D. candidacy (30 credits). All master?s students take courses in each of the five branches of chemistry. Research opportunities are available in analytical, inorganic, organic, physical and computational chemistry, as well as in biochemistry. Our department is committed to collaborative research with other institutions, particularly the local chemical industry in northern New Jersey.
