The following tracks of studies leading to MS degree in Chemistry are available:
MS in Chemistry (Thesis Option):
Thirty (30) semester hours of approved graduate credits must be completed for the degree with a minimum quality grade point average of 3.0. Students must complete a twelve (12) credit-core from among the following courses plus a thesis:
CH-521: Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3 credits
OR
CH-222: Organic Synthesis, 3 credits
CH-531: Advanced Physical Chemistry I: Molecular Structure, 3 credits
OR
CH 532: Advanced Physical Chemistry II: Molecular Dynamics, 3 credits
CH-551: Advanced Analytical Instrumentation I: Spectroscopy, 3 credits
OR
CH-552: Advanced Analytical Instrumentation II: Chromatography, 3 credits
CH-553: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 3 credits
CH-599: Thesis, 6 credits | |
The thesis involves six (6) credits of original research.
MS in Chemistry (Traditional, Non Thesis Option):
Thirty three (33) semester hours of approved graduate credits must be completed for the degree with a minimum quality grade point average of 3.0. Students must complete a twelve (15) credit-core from among the following courses:
CH-521: Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3 credits
OR
CH-222: Organic Synthesis, 3 credits
CH-531: Advanced Physical Chemistry I: Molecular Structure, 3 credits
OR
CH 532: Advanced Physical Chemistry II: Molecular Dynamics, 3 credits
CH-551: Advanced Analytical Instrumentation I: Spectroscopy, 3 credits
OR
CH-552: Advanced Analytical Instrumentation II: Chromatography, 3 credits
CH-553: Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, 3 credits
CH 595: Advanced Integrated Laboratory, 3 credits
CH 598: Comprehensive Test, 0 credits | |
Students electing the non-thesis option are required to pass a comprehensive exam.
BS/MS Combined Degree in Chemistry
This is a five-year undergraduate/graduate accelerated track. Students who complete this track receive both BS and MS degrees. Students must elect this track in their Freshman, Sophomore or Junior year. Chemistry and Biochemistry concentrations are available at the undergraduate level. Students are required to complete 150 credits of undergraduate (120 credits) and graduate (30 credits) level courses and a thesis.
The thesis involves six (6) credits of original research.
