The Master of Science program equips students with in-depth chemistry knowledge and sharpens their ability to analyze intricate chemical data. The curriculum includes mandatory foundational courses spanning various chemistry specialties. Participants can fulfill remaining credit hours through additional chemistry classes or opt for a biochemistry specialization with focused coursework. This degree primarily benefits four groups: professionals seeking chemical industry roles requiring post-baccalaureate education, working chemists aiming for career advancement, aspiring high school or community college chemistry instructors, and those considering doctoral studies.
Given the swift evolution in chemistry and biochemistry, the department ensures its course offerings include both fundamental concepts and cutting-edge developments. Hands-on lab work and research projects familiarize students with modern experimental techniques and equipment. Multiple courses provide practice in evaluating chemical and biochemical literature, complemented by either a research-oriented lab/computational project (Plan A) or a comprehensive literature review (Plan B).
