San Diego State University offers outstanding graduate programs in chemistry, including M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees across all key disciplines: analytical, inorganic, physical, computational, education, organic, and biochemistry. Our programs cater to both students with clear academic goals and those still exploring their options.
SDSU's chemistry graduate program strikes the perfect balance - substantial enough to provide diverse coursework and research opportunities, yet intimate enough to ensure personalized attention. We value every graduate student and are committed to supporting their academic journey for a fulfilling experience. Our rigorous Master of Science program combines coursework with research components, producing graduates who excel in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and other chemistry-focused industries, especially in Southern California. The M.S. degree requires completing 30 graduate units and successfully defending a research thesis, making it perfect for students seeking valuable research experience without immediate plans for doctoral studies.
