MS Program in Chemistry:
The Master of Science degree in chemistry is designed for both full-time and part-time students. It provides advanced training for those who wish to further their careers in industry, laboratory medicine, or teaching, as well as students who feel the need for more study before pursuing a Ph.D. or MD. Graduate coursework at the MS level includes analytical, clinical, inorganic, medicinal, pharmaceutical, organic, and physical chemistry. There are opportunities for practical training in well-equipped operating medical laboratories. The MS program in chemistry offers both thesis and non-thesis options, except in the area of clinical chemistry, which is a course work only program.
Financial Assistance
Teaching assistantships are not available to MS students. Research assistantships may be available through individual faculty, depending on external funding.
Admission Information
In addition to meeting the College of Graduate Studies requirements for admission, applicants for graduate study (Master’s and Ph.D.) in chemistry must have had one year of general, organic, analytical, and physical chemistry; a year of physics; and mathematics through partial derivatives and multiple integrals. Applicants lacking any of these requirements may be admitted, but any deficiency must be made up as soon as possible. Credits earned in remedial courses do not count toward degree requirements.
Typically, chemistry applicants are required to submit to the University an official report of their performance on both the aptitude and chemistry subject area tests from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) by the Educational Testing Service (ETS). However, it is waived for applicants with outstanding records (grade-point average above 3.0). The GRE requirement cannot be waived for international students. International students who do not have a degree from an institution in the United States must also arrange to have the results of their performance on the TOEFL sent to the University by ETS.
Submit all materials to the Graduate Admissions Office, Berkman Hall, Room 116. (International applicants submit materials via the online process, to the Center for International Services and Programs, Berkman Hall, Room 116). Applicants are automatically admitted if they meet the admission criteria.
