Chemistry, M.S.

In addition to the online graduate application, the program has the following requirements:

• A bachelor's degree in Chemistry or an allied field from an accredited college or university
• An undergraduate and/or graduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher
• GRE is required for graduate students with a funded assistantship (verbal and quantitative combined GRE score that average 1100 or better, or for the new scoring, 300 or better)
• For non-native speakers of English, scores of 80 or higher on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

The thesis program requires the completion of the core area, elective courses and thesis research.

The non-thesis program requires the completion of the core and elective courses and a non-thesis paper.

Both programs require students to complete non-course requirements that cover teaching and lab safety procedures, and a foreign language or research skill.

The program provides a tuition waiver to full-time students.

The emphasis of the master's program is the training of scientists. The M.S. program will produce well-trained professionals who possess a high level of proficiency in modern chemical techniques and knowledge of modern chemical problems.
