The master of science program offers a broad-based education
in chemistry that is well suited for students going on
to doctoral programs, careers in industry, or professional
schools. Both Plan A (with thesis) and Plan B (without
thesis) are available. For Plan A, emphases include analytical,
biological, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
The faculty includes members from the Departments of Chemistry
and Chemical Engineering in the Swenson College of Science
and Engineering; the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology and Medical Microbiology and Immunology in the
Medical School; as well as members from the Natural Resources
Research Institute, and the College of Pharmacy. |
Prerequisites

Applicants must have completed an undergraduate chemistry or biochemistry major,
including a junior-senior level course in inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry,
mathematics through calculus, and one year of college physics, preferably taught
using calculus. Students lacking some of these prerequisites may make up deficiencies
concurrently with graduate work.
