Curriculum - Chemistry, MS
Degree Requirements
As a candidate for the MS in Chemistry degree, you should plan your program in accordance with list of requirements below. Thirty credits are required to complete the program.
To meet graduation requirements, you must have an overall B average in all courses (excluding seminar, chemical information, and guided studies). Where CM 9731 Seminar in Chemistry I, Credits: 1.50 and CM 5021 Information Sources For the Chemical Sciences, Credits: 1.50 are not offered, they may be replaced by an elective course or a second Guided Studies project (CM 8723 Guided Studies in Chemistry II, Credits: 3.00). You must be in continuous attendance at the departmental colloquia (CM 9710 Chemical Colloquium, Credits: .00).
