MSc in Chemistry (Thesis) in Dekalb United States | Northern Illinois University

The master's program in chemistry is designed for individuals aiming to enhance their expertise in research, innovation, and teaching within this demanding field. Choose among three pathways: thesis, essay, or educator certification, all while benefiting from personalized guidance and diverse research prospects. Applicants to the M.S. program should hold a bachelor's degree in life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, or engineering, with prerequisite coursework including one year each of physics, general chemistry, and physical chemistry. Mathematics requirements consist of either three calculus semesters or two calculus semesters plus differential equations, along with four upper-level chemistry courses (300-400 level). Candidates lacking these prerequisites may fulfill them post-admission, though these courses won't count toward graduate credit and require approval from the Graduate Program Committee after discussion with relevant department faculty.
