化学理学硕士-生物化学（计划A）

理学硕士学位为学生提供化学和处理和批判复杂化学信息所需的分析技能的高级培训。该计划需要一套涵盖不同化学学科的核心课程。学生可以通过化学课程完成剩余的单元要求，或者可以选择生物化学浓度以及该领域的其他课程。该学位课程主要为以下四个类别的学生提供服务：那些在化学工业中寻求机会而需要获得学士学位以上水平的培训的人员，希望提高其职业潜能的受雇化学家，未来的高中或社区大学化学专业的教师以及正在考虑获得更高级毕业生的个人研究。由于化学和生物化学领域的快速发展，该系致力于提供一系列课程，不仅涵盖既定原理，而且涵盖最新进
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).
