Description:
The professional master's program in analytical chemistry is a part-time program for analytical chemists seeking to broaden their backgrounds in analytical chemistry. The specific goals of the program of study are to broaden and deepen knowledge of state-of-the-art analytical techniques, to learn how to design and manage projects, to gain an overview of statistical methods, and projects, and to improve communication skills. Candidates must possess a bachelor's degree (ideally in science or engineering) with two semesters of physical chemistry, two semesters of organic chemistry, and one semester of analytical chemistry. Candidates' advisers assist them in determining if any further prerequisites are necessary. A final comprehensive examination is required for graduation.Specializations:

** Applicants for professional master's programs who have completed a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in the United States may not have to submit GRE scores.
*** Applicants are expected to have a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with a major in that same discipline, or a closely allied major with additional coursework that prepares the student for graduate study in his or her chosen program. Students who have not completed all required courses may be accepted for general admission and can begin coursework, but must remove any deficiencies before the M.S. comprehensive/Ph.D. qualifying examination.
