Earn your master's degree in just two years through our program designed to propel your career forward or set the foundation for doctoral studies. CMU undergraduates majoring in chemistry or biochemistry can take advantage of our accelerated BS/MS option, which lets them apply select senior-level chemistry courses toward both degrees, potentially completing their MS in just one additional year.
This research-intensive curriculum covers all principal chemistry fields: analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
Gain hands-on experience by applying classroom theories in real-world settings. Collaborate directly with professors in cutting-edge facilities, contributing to groundbreaking research in areas like sustainable energy, eco-friendly materials, and medical advancements against cancer and infectious diseases.
We cultivate skilled scientific professionals capable of leading sophisticated research projects and excelling in chemistry-focused careers. Graduates also emerge fully prepared to continue their education in 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 materials or studying crucial proteins in Tuberculosis bacteria.
Select from diverse research specializations spanning organic chemistry, nanomaterials, analytical methods, and beyond.
