Our Master of Science program combines rigorous coursework with hands-on research experience. The M.S. degree from SDSU holds significant value in the field, serving as more than just an alternative for students who don't complete Ph.D. studies. Our M.S. graduates have consistently secured positions in biotech firms, pharmaceutical companies, and other chemistry-focused industries across Southern California. To earn the M.S., students must complete 30 graduate-level units and successfully defend a research thesis. This program perfectly suits those seeking valuable research training without immediate plans to pursue a Ph.D.
SDSU offers outstanding graduate chemistry programs at the M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. levels, covering all key disciplines: analytical, inorganic, physical, computational, education, organic, and biochemistry. Whether you have clear academic goals or are still exploring options, we have a program tailored to your needs.
