The UTA Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry is a vibrant, young and growing department with 20 tenured and tenure-track faculty advising over 90 full-time graduate students, 20 or more postdoctoral fellows and visiting scientists, and a host of undergraduates getting their first exposure to scientific research at the highest-level. We have active research programs in analytical, organic, biochemistry, physical, and inorganic chemistry, with most faculty having research programs which cross over traditional divisional boundaries. Our Master of Science in chemistry degree program features three options: Master’s Degree with Thesis, Master’s Degree with Thesis Substitute, and Master’s Degree (Non-Thesis).
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (WITH THESIS)
This degree requires a minimum of 24 credit hours in course work plus a six-credit hour thesis class. A minimum of 18 hours in chemistry from courses listed in the Graduate Catalog will be required. Twelve of these hours will be taken from at least four of the chemistry disciplines (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical).
Electives (six hours) shall be graduate division courses in a science or engineering subject selected by the candidate; any elective requires the approval of the graduate advisor.
The six-credit-hour thesis class (CHEM 5698) is a completion course and must be taken in the final semester.
MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (WITH THESIS SUBSTITUTE)
This degree is available for students with at least five years of professional experience in an industrial, government, or other chemistry laboratory at the time the degree is awarded. Admission to the program requires specific approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.
The degree plan requires a minimum of 30 credit hours, of which at least 24 must be in coursework and at least three in a suitable research project (CHEM 5392). A minimum of 18 hours in chemistry from courses listed in the Graduate Catalog will be required. Twelve of these hours will be taken from at least four of the chemistry disciplines (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical).
Additional electives shall be graduate division courses in a science or engineering subject selected by the candidate; any elective requires the approval of the graduate advisor.
MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (NON-THESIS)
This option requires a minimum of 30 hours of coursework of which at least 24 hours must be in chemistry. Courses in chemistry will be taken from at least four of the chemistry disciplines (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical).
Elective courses (six hours) shall be graduate division courses selected by the candidate. All courses taken for this degree plan including electives must be approved by the graduate advisor.
