- Graduate Courses
Although no advanced chemistry degrees are currently offered, the following graduate chemistry courses are offered as special courses for advanced postbaccalaureate studies in chemistry and for Master of Science degrees which are offered in other disciplines.
A cooperative, interdisciplinary degree in biology and chemistry is available as a special Master of Science in Biology with approximately half of the course requirements in chemistry. The thesis areas are restricted to medicinal, biochemical or natural products.
Please consult the current catalog and a chemistry faculty advisor for more information.
