Master of Science in Chemistry Goals

1. Graduates will build deep knowledge of their focus area of chemistry.
2. Graduates will conduct novel research in chemistry.
3. Graduates will be prepared to continue their education in pursuit of a doctorate or to enter the workforce. 

Accelerated BS/MS Program in Chemistry Goals

1. Graduates will build broad knowledge spanning multiple sub-disciplines of chemistry.
2. Graduates will conduct novel research in chemistry.
3. Graduates will be prepared to continue their education in pursuit of a doctorate or to enter the workforce.

Application Process for MS and BS/MS Programs

Applications will be considered at any time, but must be submitted by April 1 to receive full consideration for funding support during the following academic year. Applications should include the following components:

1. A letter of intent describing your reasons for choosing our program, and how your personal strengths and goals align with your expectations of the program.
2. Official or unofficial transcripts describing all post-secondary work. Official transcripts will be required upon admission.
3. Three letters of recommendation from professionals in the sciences or mathematics attesting to your potential to succeed in a graduate chemistry program.

Applications and supporting letters for the MS program should be submitted to the graduate school using their online application form, and are subject to their requirements. Applications and letters for the BS/MS program should be emailed to the Chemistry Department at chem@isu.edu, and should also include a summary of current courses and expected grades.

Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering and Applied Science

A doctoral program in Engineering and Applied Science, administered through the College of Science and Engineering, is available to the students in the Department of Chemistry.
