Program Mission: The Master of Science in Chemistry program at EIU is designed to provide solid training to permit graduates to obtain responsible positions in industry, governmental agencies and educational institutions while also providing strong preparation for post-graduate study in PhD and other professional programs. It uses a research intensive, 30 hour thesis model approved by the Graduate School. The program’s formal coursework centers on 15 semester hours that are designed to give students a broad background in modern chemistry. Six additional semester hours of elective courses, six semester hours of research, and three semester hours of thesis complete all credit requirements for the degree.
Admission Requirements: To be eligible for degree candidacy, applicants must meet all of the requirements for admission to the Graduate School (see “Admission to Graduate Degree and Certificate Programs”). In addition, applicant must provide a documented score on the General Test of the Graduate Record Exam.
Study Plan Approval: The study plan must be approved by the department and filed with the departmental graduate coordinator prior to completion of 12 semester hours of graduate credit which count toward the graduate degree. |
Degree Requirements
Degree requirements include those outlined for the Master’s Degree by the Graduate School (see “Requirements for the Master’s Degree”). All students must take a core of courses which total 24 semester hours. Student must also take elective courses which total 6 semester hours. With permission of the graduate coordinator, one or more elective courses may be taken in departments outside Chemistry. The following courses are required of all students:
