Join us at one of our upcoming virtual Graduate School Open House events on Zoom! You'll have the opportunity to learn more
about Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµapp, understand the Graduate School application process,
and meet key program representatives.
What You'll Learn
The Master of Science is a 30-semester hour program that provides opportunities to
advance your knowledge of chemistry in the classroom and the laboratory. Course work
includes topics such as pharmacology, biostatistics and genomics. Students on the
traditional track will also work, individually, with a faculty member on an original
research project in forensic chemistry, biochemistry, materials science or another
subcategory of chemistry. PSM students will earn exposure to professional writing
and other essential business administration skills.
Where You'll Go
Chemists have a variety of professional options available inside and outside of their
specific field. Many chemists go on to continue their research in a specific discipline
while other find themselves in the classroom continuing their studies or as an educator.
Chemists can be found working in the fields of hazardous waste management, biotechnology,
government research, agricultural chemistry and many other fields across the occupational
spectrum. The Bureau of Labor Statistics states the average salary of chemists and
material scientists is $73,060 and expects the job field to grow 6% by 2022.

More Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµapp Our Master in Chemistry Program
Ìð¹ÏÊÓÆµapp offers three concentrations under its Master of Science
in Chemistry, including a traditional masters in chemistry, an environmental chemistry
concentration, a professional science concentration and a comprehensive concentration.
The traditional M.S. in Chemistry prepares students for research and development work
in the chemistry field and can serve as a foundational degree for students hoping
to pursue doctoral degrees in the health sciences. The M.S. with a concentration in
environmental chemistry prepares students for work in environmental regulation, research
and response. The PSM is a non-thesis masters degree that prepares people for work
on the business side of the chemical industry with a focus on biopharmaceutical and
natural products.
Our Master of Science in Chemistry program offers diverse concentrations and immersive
research experiences across the chemical sciences.
Our M.S. in Chemistry equips graduates for career advancement, further study, or roles
in industry, research, and professional schools.
We encourage applications from mathematics, computer science, physics, biology, environmental
health, natural resources management, and geology undergraduates. However, applicants
with bachelor degrees in areas other than chemistry may be required to take additional
coursework.
