Master of Science - Chemistry

Program Description 

The mission of WSU's Graduate Programs in Chemistry is the preparation of students for careers ranging from teaching at postsecondary institutions to conducting research in universities, industrial settings, and government laboratories. Two graduate degrees are offered at WSU, the Master’s of Science (M.S.) and Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.). Enrollment in either program requires a Bachelors degree, however a Master’s degree is not required for enrollment in the Ph.D. program. The M.S. degree is a strong research-oriented degree that has been offered since 1930, involving the training of students in the art and logic of research and imparting an advanced understanding of the discipline of chemistry.
