Chemistry and Biochemistry

Wayne Bosma, Graduate Program Coordinator

The Mund-Lagowski Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry offers five graduate programs, the M.S. in Chemistry or Biochemistry, the M.A. in Chemistry, and the B.S./M.S. in Chemistry or Biochemistry. The M.S. programs are designed to meet the needs of the full-time graduate student or the chemist who wishes to pursue graduate studies on a part-time basis. These thesis-based programs are designed to provide a broad educational experience in the chemical or biochemical sciences while enhancing the student’s laboratory skills. The M.A. program is designed to meet the needs of the full-time graduate student or chemist who wants to earn a graduate degree in Chemistry based solely on course work and not on research leading to a thesis. The B.S./M.S. programs are integrated, accelerated, and research-intensive programs that provide opportunities for students to begin an M.S. while completing requirements for the B.S. All five programs provide a solid foundation for immediate employment or further education.
