Master of Science in Chemistry (STEM)

Program Overview

The Department of Chemistry offers graduate programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees across a broad spectrum of fields including analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, polymer, and physical chemistry as well as chemical physics. A recent ACS survey found that 90% of PhD chemists find their work challenging and are working in their fields of interest.

Students in the chemistry graduate program will receive outstanding research and educational opportunities, leading to the master of science or doctoral degrees. The heart of the graduate degree is research, conducted in concert with a faculty mentor.

Our chemistry graduate program is a STEM-designated program, which means international students are eligible to apply for 36 months of Optional Practical Training, allowing employers to potentially hire international students for up to three years instead of only one.

The PhD program includes 36 credits, to be completed in the first two years. Students join labs and begin research in their first semester in the program. Students are advanced to PhD candidacy after successfully completing a literature seminar (4th semester) and research meeting (5th semester).

The MSc program include 30 credits, which can be completed on a flexible schedule. As part of the program, students complete research projects, or write essays about the research literature.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
