Saint Louis University's Department of Chemistry offers a Master of Arts in Chemistry with a specialization in analytical, inorganic, organic, physical or biological chemistry.听听

Program Highlights

• Many of SLU's graduate courses in chemistry are scheduled in the evening, allowing students to complete the degree part time.
• This flexibility allows students to tailor a program of study to suit their needs. For example, graduate courses in business and management, education, mathematics or other science disciplines may be included.
• Chemistry students at SLU have access to many research tools, including:
  • Bruker 400 and 700 MHz NMR spectrometers
  • Bruker-EMX EPR, UV-Vis and FTIR spectrometers
  • Research-grade spectrofluorometers
  • GC-MS and LC-MS
  • Electrochemical analyzers
  • Gas chromatographs
  • A scanning electron micrograph
  • Computational facilities with modern molecular software
  • A Bruker CCD X-ray diffractometer facility
• In addition to the M.A. in Chemistry, SLU's Department of Chemistry also offers a full-time, research-based M.S. in Chemistry.听

Curriculum Overview

The requirements for SLU's non-thesis M.A. degree in chemistry include a minimum of 30 credits of post-baccalaureate coursework and an oral examination.

Students who hold a bachelor鈥檚 degree and are interested in completing SLU's doctoral program in chemistry can transition into the Ph.D. program after the master's requirements are met. A total of 39 credits are required, including 12 credits from dissertation research credits. Students will develop an appropriate coursework track with a mentor that the graduate program director or the department chair will approve.

Careers

Possible careers for chemistry graduates include pharmaceutical scientist, crime lab analyst, environmental chemist, fuels and materials scientist and academic researcher.

91制片厂 Requirements

Applicants should possess sufficient GPA and TOEFL (if applicable) scores and a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. Bachelor's degrees usually are in chemistry or biochemistry, although other science majors will be considered.

91制片厂 typically requires a minimum of 18 semester credits (minimum 2.8 GPA) of upper-division undergraduate chemistry courses, including organic chemistry (two semesters), quantitative analysis (one semester) and physical chemistry (two semesters). Students who do not meet these criteria may complete these prerequisites as part of their graduate program, though not for graduate credit.

Students who have not completed equivalent coursework in upper-level undergraduate inorganic chemistry and instrumental analysis will also be required to complete these courses, but they can be taken for departmental graduate credit.

Graduate Chemistry Courses

Research Elective

Select one.

Non-Course Requirements

A private oral examination.

Continuation Standards

Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 in all graduate/professional courses.

Roadmaps are recommended semester-by-semester plans of study for programs and assume full-time enrollment听unless otherwise noted. 听

Courses and milestones designated as critical (marked with !) must be completed in the semester listed to ensure a timely graduation. Transfer credit may change the roadmap.

This roadmap should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor/mentor each semester. Requirements, course availability and sequencing are subject to change.

Program Notes

Students in the coursework M.A. program commonly take one to two courses a semester, which means the timeline will vary for each student.
