DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Chemistry students earn their M.S. degree after completing a total of 30 credits. They must take the 2 required courses, Chem B1000 and B5000, worth 5 credits each, and any combination of electives for 20 credits.
Comprehensive Examination
A comprehensive examination is required of all students except those who have completed a thesis. The comprehensive examination includes material from any undergraduate course, plus Chem B1000 and Chem B5000.
Thesis
Those who choose to do the thesis must have a mentor to guide their research and 2 additional faculty members to serve on their thesis committee. The research topic must be approved by the Graduate Committee. The research must be completed in two years from the initial date of registration for thesis research, continuing registration until completed.
Thesis Research is offered as Chem B9901-B9905. Masters students choosing to do a thesis will take 20 credits from the courses listed below and 10 credits of B9901-B9905.
