尽管学生有机会在生物化学，分析，无机，有机和物理化学的传统领域进行研究，但他们也可以进行跨学科研究，这些学科涵盖了其中几个学科或超出了这些学科。这些跨学科的研究主题涵盖医学，计算机和环境科学领域，并允许学生与来自不同科学领域的小组进行互动，以解决复杂，多方面的问题。研究计划始终由国家机构（例如国家科学机构）资助基金会，美国国立卫生研究院和美国能源部。
The United States is the top chemical producer in the world, accounting for nearly one-fifth of world production. Huntsville and the surrounds are the southern home of the US chemical industry. A graduate degree in Chemistry raises your knowledge and skill base to take on supervisory roles.<br>A graduate degree builds upon a student's firm scientific foundation to significantly enhance their knowledge and skill base. A Graduate degree opens doors. Graduates can expect to enter employment positions at a higher level, while a graduate degree may also be a requirement for progress beyond certain career ceilings.<br>The MS in Chemistry includes advanced lectures and laboratory work in organic chemistry, physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and a choice of either a biochemistry, polymer chemistry, or materials chemistry specialization. Students will gain leadership experience either as a graduate teaching assistant or supervision of undergraduate students as a graduate research assistant. Students will learn to effectively present chemical knowledge in writing, or deliver an effective oral presentation of their research. Graduates are well situated for satisfactory employment or enrollment in a PhD or professional degree program.
