The BS/Accelerated MS in Chemistry leads to a research-based MS degree following satisfactory completion of 144 credits. It allows academically strong undergraduates with a commitment to research to obtain BS and MS degrees within five academic years plus the summer of the last year. On completion of this program, students will be exceptionally well prepared for entry into a professional school or a PhD program in chemistry or a related discipline. Students are eligible to enter this program and enroll in graduate courses after successfully completing 90 credits, inclusive of prerequisites, toward the BS degree. This flexibility makes it possible for students to complete some of their graduate classes during their junior and senior years. Consult the department for details on the program.
