Bachelor of Science in Chemistry - Materials Chemistry

Program Overview

Study substances, both natural and man-made, and make them better with materials chemistry. This branch of science examines:

Synthesis: How are materials made?
Structure: How are materials put together?
Characterization: How do materials behave?
Application: What are these materials good for?

As a materials chemistry student, you'll engage in hands-on research and work one-on-one with your professors on a capstone project. We're the only public university in Michigan to have a required capstone research experience for chemistry majors. Your research could even lead to publication in a peer-reviewed journal or conference presentations. You'll graduate with a leg up in the job market and in graduate school applications.

Why study materials chemistry?

Like all chemistry majors, you'll begin your studies with core courses in science and math. Then, you'll specialize with a materials chemistry concentration for more advanced topics.

You'll study chemical properties of different materials and use that knowledge to improve existing materials or create brand new ones. You'll also learn about the development of pharmaceuticals and the future of biomimetics.

Throughout your studies, you'll have opportunities to engage in hands-on research. You'll complete a capstone project, where you'll work directly with a faculty mentor to conduct research, write a thesis and present your findings.

Whether you're looking to pursue an advanced degree, or a career after graduation, you'll have the knowledge and the skills to succeed.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

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.
