The widely respected Master of Science degree program in Chemistry at St. John’s University prepares students for careers in industry or education, government laboratories or private research. Offered through the Graduate Division of St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the M.S. in Chemistry also will prepare students to pursue a doctoral degree in the field.

The M.S. degree program in Chemistry comprises a broad range of specialized and cross-disciplinary courses in such areas as

  • Organic and Inorganic chemistry
  • Computer applications in chemistry
  • Electronic Spectra and Group Theory

The Department fosters a supportive scholarly community in which students work closely with distinguished faculty. In addition, a limited number of graduate assistantships are available for qualified students. Graduate assistants receive a stipend and tuition remission for supervising undergraduate laboratory activities. Students applying for assistantships must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores (general and subject-specific) with their applications.
