Master of Science in Chemistry

California State University - Fullerton

Our M.S. Chemistry program will prepare students in both the research laboratory and classroom for rewarding and stimulating careers in science. We are actively looking for students to join our master's program! We are excited to provide opportunities for all students with the appropriate chemistry background to grow as scientists. Because of its broad scope, contemporary chemistry offers exciting employment opportunities in rapidly growing fields, such as materials science, computational chemistry, computer-aided synthesis, biochemistry, biotechnology, medicinal chemistry, environmental science, and chemical education. The Master of Science in Chemistry is a thesis- or project-based degree that requires students to complete courses in their area of study and work on an original, independent research objective in one of the following concentrations: Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic, Physical. The skills learned in the program prepare students for a career in teaching, industry or graduate school. Because of its broad scope, contemporary chemistry offers employment opportunities in rapidly growing fields, such as materials science, polymers, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry, chemical education research and environmental science. Graduates are prepared to enter any of these fields or others, since chemistry is the central science with connections to physics and mathematics, biology and medicine, and environmental science.
