新分子化合物的合成将化学与其他科学学科区分开来。尽管许多学科研究材料和自然现象的特性，但只有化学本身才涉及新分子排列的准备。通过观察各种各样改善我们生活质量的新材料，可以很容易地赞赏过去综合努力的成功。Stony Brook的化学系非常幸运，能够在有机和无机化学领域拥有许多强大的合成程序。正在进行的研究包括寻找产生新分子的创造性合成反应，评估我们的化学键合理论的新分子结构的合成以及具有异常物理性质的新化合物的合成（分子工程）。该计划的主要重点在于生物有机和生物无机化学领域。合成化学正被用于理解受体-底物相
The one-year Master of Arts (MA) program consists of courses in the student's own area of interest, supplemented by advanced courses in other areas of chemistry and, when appropriate, biochemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics. Students admitted to the two-year Master of Science (MS) program continue beyond coursework and carry out a research project under the guidance of a chemistry faculty member. MS students also participate in the departmental colloquium and present a seminar in their chosen specialty.<br><br>For more information on program requirements, please see the Brandeis University Bulletin.<br><br>Requirements and deadlines for admission can be found on the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website. Applicants' undergraduate curricula should include courses in physics, mathematics and inorganic, organic and physical chemistry.<br><br>The one-year Master of Arts (MA) program consists of courses in the student's own area of interest, supplemented by advanced courses in other areas of chemistry and, when appropriate, biochemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics.
