理学硕士是基于学位的学位，允许学生进行有机，物理，聚合物，无机，分析和生物化学领域的原创研究。该计划是为那些希望获得额外学术经验的学生而设计的，以帮助他们为工业职业，博士学位或其他专业学位做准备。理科硕士课程着重课程研究和研究，最终将对化学和基于研究的论文进行全面的考试。学生可以灵活地选择生物学，物理或应用科学等其他系的课程。该计划通常可以在两年内完成，包括夏季。化学系提供研究生学习和研究，可获硕士学位。这些程序旨在使学生在设计符合其专业目标的课程时具有很大的灵活性。基于论文的选项包括涉及任何传统领域（有
The Department of Chemistry offers graduate programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees across a broad spectrum of fields including analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, polymer, and physical chemistry as well as chemical physics. A recent ACS survey found that 90% of PhD chemists find their work challenging and are working in their fields of interest. Students in the chemistry graduate program will receive outstanding research and educational opportunities, leading to the master of science or doctoral degrees. The heart of the graduate degree is research, conducted in concert with a faculty mentor. The Master's program requires 30 hours of course work, and students are advanced to PhD candidacy after successfully completing a literature seminar (4th semester) and research meeting (5th semester). The MSc program include 30 credits, which can be completed on a flexible schedule. As part of the program, students complete research projects, or write essays about the research literature.
