The MS program will be designed to fit the individual vocational objectives of each student. The program shall include 30 semester units of work beyond the bachelor's degree.
Thirty units of course work must be chosen so that a minimum of 21 units are in chemistry of which at least 15 are 200-level graduate lecture courses, and 18 units must be graded coursework.
A. Required: CHEM 120S (1 unit), 201 (1 unit), 285 (2 units), 291A-E (1 unit), 298 (4 units), 299 (2 units), 200-level lecture courses (15 units).
B. Approved electives (four units are required) chosen from the following:
1. Any 200-level chemistry course. (See the Chemistry Department Graduate Handbook for guidelines on 200-level courses within the proposed program.)
2. Any of the following chemistry courses if appropriate for the area of concentration and if approved by Graduate Advisor: CHEM 114, 118, 121S, 126, 127, 130A, 130B, 130C, 131A, 131B, 135, 145, 146, 155, 159, 173, 178, 196.
3. Upper division and graduate courses from departments other than chemistry (courses must be approved by Graduate Advisor prior to enrollment in such courses).
4. Master's Research Presentation (departmental seminar and final oral examination).
5. Submission of an M.S. Thesis approved by the student's research committee, and by Graduate Studies and Research.
The progress of each candidate will be reviewed periodically, and specific recommendations for further work will be made on the basis of such evaluations.
