Get ready for a research career or advanced academic pursuits with Temple University's College of Science and Technology Master of Science in Chemistry. This adaptable, interdisciplinary program builds specialized knowledge across five chemical fields. Flexible full-time or part-time enrollment allows you to balance professional work while earning your degree. Choose between thesis-based or coursework pathways, both emphasizing deep exploration of chemical sciences. Advance toward a Chemistry PhD or position yourself for research leadership in biotechnology, environmental science, forensics, healthcare, and other fields. The graduate chemistry curriculum establishes strong foundational knowledge in your specialization while developing skills for continued professional and research growth. With its research-focused approach, the program integrates seminar participation and chemical literature review as essential components. While offering diverse intermediate and advanced courses, the program maintains modest credit requirements and encourages cross-disciplinary studies in fields like Biology, Computer Science, and Physics to support research goals. The Chemistry Department provides M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry, with specializations including environmental chemistry, materials science, medicinal chemistry, nanoscience, photonics, and surface science. The master's program features two pathways: Thesis Track - intended for part-time students (departmental financial support unavailable; requires Graduate Committee pre-approval), and Coursework Track - designed for working professionals with substantial lab experience in the regional chemical industry (requires Graduate Committee authorization).
