Master of Science [M.S] [Chemistry] From Michigan Technological University

Current Michigan Tech undergraduate students can earn a MS degree with just a single year of study beyond the BS through the Accelerated Master's Program. A new coursework only Master's option has recently been added.

The chemistry department maintains modern analytical instruments, including a 400 MHz nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, and an electrospray mass spectrometer. Gas, liquid, and supercritical fluid chromatographs, and UV-Vis, atomic absorption, fluorescence, and FTIR spectrometers are also available.

Our students conduct breakthrough research in areas as diverse as molecular probes in medicinal chemistry; design of chiral ligands and synthesis of combinatorial libraries; bio-organic projects; mutational analysis of proteins and chemical synthesis of inhibitors; synthesis and analysis of ultrasensitive fluorescent probes; polymer synthesis and testing related to nanoparticles, nanofibers, and bio-composites; vibrational spectroscopy of solid-state structure; theoretical/ computational chemistry projects on nanoscale materials and phase equilibria in complex systems; and the development of quantum chemistry methods.
