Degree Pathway for Master of Science in Chemistry - Biochemistry Specialization
A minimum of 30 credits is required for the Master of Science degree in Chemistry.
For an MS with thesis, include 12 credits (4 courses) of laboratory research.
For an MS without thesis, choose any 2 graduate chemistry courses (worth the final 6 credits to complete 30 credits). The Non-thesis Master of Science degree requires 30 credits of course work earned in 3-credit graduate courses exclusive of seminar and colloquium (CHEM.6010, CHEM.6020, CHEM.6030, CHEM.6040).
