化学理学硕士-生物化学

采用这种选择的学生必须在进入研究生课程时声明他们希望继续从事生物化学选择。他们将遵守论文选项中生物化学专业化的所有要求。化学与生物化学系提供化学理学硕士学位和化学理学硕士学位，并提供生物化学选修课程。这些主要是研究学位。对学生获得化学或生物化学学位后所拥有的知识，技能和能力的描述。
The Master of Science degree provides students with advanced training in chemistry and the analytical skills needed to process and critique complex chemical information. The program requires a set of core courses encompassing the different disciplines of chemistry. Students may complete the remaining unit requirements with coursework in chemistry or may choose a biochemistry concentration, with the additional coursework in that area. The degree program mainly serves students in four categories: those seeking opportunities in the chemical industry requiring training beyond the baccalaureate level, employed chemists who wish to enhance their career potential, future teachers of high school or community college chemistry, and individuals contemplating more advanced graduate study.<br><br>Because of the rapid progress in the fields of chemistry and biochemistry, the department strives to offer a range of courses that cover not only established principles but also recent advances. Through laboratory-based coursework and research opportunities, students are prepared for new developments in experimental methods and instrumentation. They acquire experience reading and analyzing the chemical or biochemical literature in several courses, as well as through a research-based laboratory or computational project (Plan A) or by developing a written literature review (Plan B).
