Chemistry and biochemistry form the core of the physical and life sciences. A Master of Science degree in Chemistry provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles of chemistry and their applications. This understanding will be developed through a combination of course work, seminars, independent study and research. The Montclair State University Graduate Program in Chemistry is designed with built-in flexibility to help students meet their career objectives. The courses offered include advanced courses in all major areas of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and include a number of highly specialized instrumentation courses as well as individual research opportunities. Laboratories are housed in both Richardson Hall and Science Hall.
