化学物理课程是一项学习和研究计划，旨在为希望进入专业职业且需要对物理和化学有深入了解的学生提供理学硕士学位和哲学博士学位。学生可以选择许多学科的研究主题，包括生物物理学，化学，物理学，化学工程，电气工程，材料与核工程，机械工程和气象学。化学物理课程是为具有物理，化学或工程学本科学位的学生而设计的，他们对数学和物理科学作了充分的准备，可以接受物理和物理化学的研究生培训。量子力学，量子化学，光谱学，热力学，电和磁学，统计力学和生物物理学方面的正规课程课程为学生提供了探索马里兰大学广泛研究主题的机会。化学物理系
The MS in Chemical Sciences is a nine-month graduate degree program offered by the Department of Chemistry. It is not part of the PhD program. The degree is designed for students with bachelor's degrees who are interested in pursuing continuing education in chemistry to advance their career opportunities in the field. There are two options for students pursuing the MS in Chemical Sciences degree: a coursework-only curriculum, curriculum with research opportunities. The coursework-only option might be of interest to employees in chemistry-related industries for whom additional research experience is not as important as obtaining the MS degree for job advancements. The non-research option may also be interesting to students who intend to apply to Law or Business programs and who want to demonstrate an advanced technical background, or for students interested in post-baccalaureate courses prior to enrolling in health science degree programs that do not emphasize research in their admission process. Although this is intended as an intensive, 9-month program, we recognize that is may be convenient for students to extend the time according to the needs of their individual life and employment circumstances. The research-based option might be of interest to employees in chemistry-related industries who wish to diversify their experimental skills, students from abroad, students bridging from their BS to improve their competitiveness for employment or for admission to PhD, MD/PhD and other programs where a research background would be useful, including health science professional programs where research experience is used in ranking candidate for admissions.
