The Department of Chemistry at the graduate level offers the Master of Science degree program. This program has thesis and non-thesis tracks to suit the interests and aims of the student. The thesis program requires 24 credit hours of coursework and six credit hours of research coursework. This track culminates with a written thesis and an oral examination based on the thesis. The non-thesis track requires 33 credit hours of coursework and culminates with a written comprehensive examination. All M.S. Degrees require introductory coursework in analytical, inorganic, physical and organic chemistry.

In addition, the Department offers the combined B.S./M.S. degree program. This degree program (Bachelor of Science and Master of Science) allows qualified students to obtain these two degrees within five years and to take graduate courses while still an undergraduate.
