(See general College requirements in ‘Graduate Regulations’.)

A candidate for the combined degrees of M.S. in Chemistry  and Ph.D. in Applied Science  must satisfy the course requirements specified by the Applied Science Ph.D. program and all other requirements for both degrees with the following modifications:

• The comprehensive exam for the Applied Science Ph.D. will satisfy the comprehensive exam for the Chemistry M.S. degree.
• No Thesis is required.
• No credits for CHEM 700 can be used to satisfy requirements for either degree.

Chemistry M.S. degree candidates interested in transferring to the Applied Science Ph.D. program should apply for admission during their first year after discussing the opportunity with their research advisors.

See the Chemistry Department website for a typical plan of study.
