- Master of Science, Chemistry
Gary Crosson, Department Chairperson
The Department of Chemistry offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science in chemistry.
The purpose of the master's program in chemistry is to present a rigorous approach to modern chemical theories and research.
The student and advisor determine the composition of the program of study with the approval of the graduate committee. All candidates for the Master of Science are required to submit proof of their ability to do independent work. Normally, this proof takes the form of a research thesis. Additional coursework may be substituted if the student has previously demonstrated research proficiency commensurate with a master's degree as judged by the graduate committee.
Assistantships
Teaching assistantships requiring a maximum of nine hours of laboratory instruction per week are available. The stipend for a 9 to 12 month appointment is supplemented by tuition remission for graduate coursework. Appointment as a teaching assistant requires fluency in spoken English. Research assistantships in selected areas are sometimes available.
