Our two-year degree program is designed to accelerate your career growth or lay the foundation for doctoral or professional studies. CMU undergraduates majoring in chemistry or biochemistry can now take advantage of our accelerated BS/MS option, enabling them to count select advanced chemistry courses toward both degrees and complete their MS in just one additional year.
This research-intensive curriculum covers all principal chemistry fields: analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
You'll gain hands-on experience applying classroom concepts in real-world settings. Collaborate directly with faculty in state-of-the-art laboratories, contributing to groundbreaking research in areas like sustainable energy, eco-friendly materials, and innovative approaches to fighting cancer and infectious diseases.
We cultivate skilled scientific professionals capable of conducting sophisticated research and excelling in chemistry-focused careers. Graduates also emerge fully prepared to continue their education through PhD programs.
As a graduate Chemistry student, you will:
Engage in hands-on research alongside faculty on funded projects, such as creating sustainable flame retardants from biological sources or studying critical proteins in Tuberculosis bacteria.
Select from diverse research specializations spanning organic chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, analytical methods, and beyond.
