For an MS without thesis, choose any 4 graduate (5000 level or higher) chemistry courses (worth the final 12 credits to complete 30 credits). The Non-thesis Master of Science degree requires 30 credits of course work earned in 3-credit graduate courses exclusive of seminar and colloquium (CHEM.6010, CHEM.6020, CHEM.6030, CHEM.6040).
Polymer Seminar:
Each semester the student is required to attend and participate in the chemistry seminar/colloquium program CHEM.6010, 6020, 6030 and 6040. In addition, a master's candidate is required to present one seminar in 6020 - Polymer Science Seminar.
Although the design of the academic program is the responsibility of the student's advisory committee, the following listing provides recommended courses for program development.
