Master of Chemistry in Analytical Chemistry

The professional master s program in analytical chemistry is a part-time program for working chemists seeking to strengthen their understanding of analytical chemistry. The specific goal of the program is to provide the student with a broad and in-depth understanding of state-of-the-art analytical techniques with a firm grounding in separation science, spectroscopy, method development, and sample preparation. In addition, students acquire professional skills in effective communication, statistics, and business principles. Candidates must possess a bachelor s degree (ideally in science or engineering) with at least one semester of calculus, one semester of calculus-based physical chemistry, one semester of analytical chemistry, and two semesters of organic chemistry. Candidates advisers assist them in determining if any further prerequisites are necessary. A final comprehensive exam is required for graduation. This program is also available via the internet.
