化学硕士

由于其广泛的应用范围，当代化学在快速发展的领域提供令人兴奋的就业机会，例如材料科学，聚合物，生物化学，生物技术，制药/药物化学，化学教育研究和环境科学。拥有化学硕士学位的毕业生准备进入这些领域或其他领域，因为化学是与物理和数学，生物学和医学以及环境科学联系在一起的中心科学。根据美国全国化学家专业协会美国化学会的预测，许多人预测，随着我们解决21世纪世界面临的主要问题，化学将发挥越来越大的作用：提供能量，响应法规，保护环境，改善健康和喂养世界。
The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry plans its curriculum to provide thorough instruction in the basic principles and concepts of chemistry and biochemistry for students who will: (1) advance to graduate work in chemistry or biochemistry, (2) teach in the science programs of secondary schools, (3) seek employment in industry or government, (4) advance to medical, dental, or pharmacy training, or (5) pursue a degree or minor in support of a career in other areas such as physics, biology, geology, business or computer science. Because of its broad scope, contemporary chemistry offers exciting employment opportunities in rapidly growing fields, such as materials science, polymers, biochemistry, biotechnology, pharmaceutical/medicinal chemistry, chemical education research and environmental science. Graduates with a master's degree in chemistry are prepared to enter any of these fields or others, since chemistry is the central science with connections to physics and mathematics, biology and medicine, and environmental sciences. According to the American Chemical Society, the national professional association for chemists, Many predict a growing role for chemistry as we tackle the major issues confronting the world in the 21st century: providing energy, responding to regulation, protecting the environment, improving health and feeding the world.
