MA in Chemistry

Course Requirements

A minimum of eight graduate-level semester courses (32 credits) in chemistry, at least five of which are nonresearch, is required for the MA degree. Of the five nonresearch courses, two must be outside the candidate’s major area of specialization, and at least four must be at the 600 level or above. Two courses acceptable for graduate credit in mathematics or natural sciences other than chemistry may be substituted for chemistry courses.

Research

A minimum of two research courses is required. The evaluation of a candidate’s research coursework is based on the level of performance and on a written report to be submitted to the faculty advisor at the end of each semester.
