Are you interested in joining a technology based scientific company? Does the study of life sciences or pharmaceuticals capture your imagination? ECU's master of science in chemistry is offered with concentrations in six areas: analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, physical, and industrial. Our students tailor their curriculum to focus on the area of concentration that interests them most and is in-line with their career goals. The MS degree is research based, so students will gain valuable research experience by working closely with their chosen research advisors. Given the size of our graduate program, students interact with faculty in small classes and receive one-on-one training. In this manner, students gain valuable hands-on experience with modern instrumentation and lab techniques. Students will interact with experts from top schools and industry, as we hold regular departmental seminars where these individuals present their work and advice. Additionally, our students will develop their oral presentation and interviewing skills by participating in our graduate seminar series. Our students also develop leadership skills by serving as teaching assistants, which come with competitive stipends that cover tuition and living expenses.
