Course Requirements (M.S.)All students pursuing the M.S. Degree in Chemistry are required to complete a minimum of thirty-one (31) credit hours. For both the thesis-type and course-type options, a course of study is formulated for each student by a supervisory committee. In any case, each student must complete sixteen credit hours of core courses as listed below:

Students pursuing the thesis track must also complete, successfully, a maximum of six (6) credit hours of thesis taken in at least two semesters.
In the non-thesis program option, students must complete the sixteen (16) credit hours of core courses and nine (9) credit hours from among the course electives if they do not plan to tech high school or junior college level chemistry. In addition, these students must complete, successfully, six (6) credit hours of directed individual study involving research experience taken in at least two semesters. Students who plan to follow the non-thesis option to pursue teaching are required to complete only the sixteen (16) credit hours of core courses in the chemistry department. These students, however, must complete twenty-one (21) or twenty-three (23) credit hours of education courses in the College of Education.
Regardless of the type of master's degree students pursue in the chemistry department, a 3.0 G.P.A. in all formal chemistry course work is mandatory. Each student must pass the M.S. comprehensive examination to graduate from his or her program of study. Each student pursing the thesis-type master's degree must also pass an oral examination on his or her thesis.
