Chemistry (MS)

Description

The Master of Science with a major in Chemistry is a degree designed for the student who is currently working in a chemically-related field and/or wishes to prepare for more advanced studies in chemistry. Chemists need to be well versed in several branches of chemistry in order to solve current and future chemical research problems. The Chemistry major allows the student to acquire a well-rounded, advanced education in chemistry, as well as specialization and research in polymers and materials, biochemistry, and computational chemistry.

    Admissions Requirements

    Applicants for admission to graduate studies leading to the Master of Science with a major in Chemistry degree must present an undergraduate major in chemistry or its equivalent with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the major field and an overall GPA of 2.75 (or at least in the last 60 hours). Such prior work must be essentially equivalent to that required by the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department for a bachelor of science degree as set forth in the current 91福利社 Undergraduate Catalog. Applicants whose undergraduate preparation does not satisfy these admission requirements may be admitted on probationary status to the University with the approvals of the dean of the College of Engineering & Science and the chairperson of the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. Courses taken to satisfy admission requirements may not be taken for graduate credit.
