化学系通过论文计划或应用化学计划提供通往理学硕士（MS）学位的工作。该计划旨在使研究生为继续攻读博士学位或接受其他专业培训或在政府，行业或教育领域的高级职位而立即就职做好准备。该计划可为化学和相关领域的学位人员提供个人职业目标，并允许化学未成年的人员从事该领域的高级工作和实习。该部门还为不适合MS学位的化学家和化学教育工作者提供在职培训。在过去的30年中，化学系取得了巨大的发展，在生物技术，材料，医学，纳米技术，环境健康，替代燃料和法医学等领域都有许多新的应用。新信息从研究实验室迅速转移到实际应用中。
A Master of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Houston-Clear Lake will provide the challenging program you deserve for your education and career. You will be exposed to coursework in traditional areas like Organic, Analytical, Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, as well as pursue a thesis option if you have plans for a doctoral program after graduation. You also have the option to choose an advanced specializations that can provide focus to your studies:<br>Specialization in Petrochemical & Process Chemistry.<br><br>a<br>Share this Page<br>Print (opens a new window)<br>Help (opens a new window)<br>Chemistry, M.S.<br>The plan in Chemistry leads to the Master of Science degree. Graduate students enrolled in the chemistry plan may choose from courses in all of the traditional areas of organic, analytical, physical and inorganic chemistry, as well as in the closely related fields of biochemistry and environmental chemistry. Students may pursue either a thesis option or a non-thesis (extended coursework) option.<br>The thesis option is strongly recommended for improving the competitiveness of our graduates in the current job market and in admission to the Ph.D. school. Students in the thesis option will undertake thesis research. The non-thesis option substitutes thesis research with additional coursework.<br>It should be noted that the chemistry plan has received a Chemistry Departmental Research Grant from the Welch Foundation. This fund has been expended in support of the research efforts carried out by the plan's faculty during the training of students. The chemistry plan also has endowments from the Zeon Chemicals Company and Petrotex.
