LevelMasters Program
  • The MS in Chemistry will prepare students for a doctoral program or for a number of careers in research, development, education, and administration. Students will learn the skills they need to conduct specialized laboratory research in the highly competitive chemical and biological industries
  • Students can develop their expertise in one of two specialized tracks of study: applied chemistry or clinical biochemistry. They will receive individual mentorship from the faculty members in their coursework, while performing research, and in learning to write grant proposals for research funding
  • The 30-credit MS program offers two tracks of specialization. The clinical biochemistry track will prepare students for careers in clinical laboratories, the pharmaceutical industry, and biodefense
