The Department of Chemistry offers the master of science degree with concentrations in six fields of chemistry (analytical, inorganic, organic, physical, industrial, and biochemistry) or in combinations of the six fields (i.e., physical-organic, etc.). The degree requires a minimum of 30 s.h. of graduate work, including the completion of a thesis or (for non-thesis option) a major research project.

Entrance examinations are administered in four traditional areas of chemistry for advisory purposes. Course selection is based on the student’s performance on the entrance examinations, undergraduate background, and area of interest. Students will be required to remove undergraduate deficiencies.

The department of chemistry participates in the interdisciplinary PhD program in the biological sciences (IDPBS). For details and requirements see the Brody School of Medicine.
