We have active research programs in analytical, organic, biochemistry, physical, and inorganic chemistry, with most faculty having research programs which cross over traditional divisional boundaries. Our Master of Science in chemistry degree program features three options: Master’s Degree with Thesis, Master’s Degree with Thesis Substitute, and Master’s Degree (Non-Thesis).

MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (WITH THESIS)

This degree requires a minimum of 24 credit hours in course work plus a six-credit hour thesis class. A minimum of 18 hours in chemistry from courses listed in the Graduate Catalog will be required. Twelve of these hours will be taken from at least four of the chemistry disciplines (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical).
Electives (six hours) shall be graduate division courses in a science or engineering subject selected by the candidate; any elective requires the approval of the graduate advisor.
The six-credit-hour thesis class (CHEM 5698) is a completion course and must be taken in the final semester.
