Degree Description:

While the WSU Chemistry graduate program emphasizes the Ph.D. degree, we appreciate that there are circumstances that favor awarding of the M.S. degree. The degree of Master of Science is awarded in recognition of scholarship and contributions to knowledge in the field of Chemistry. The Master’s Degree is based on research carried out in the laboratories of the Department and allows students to gain experience in modern experimental techniques and to familiarize themselves with the daily workings of a laboratory. Master’s Degree students (on either the thesis or non-thesis track) must carry out a research project under the supervision of a member of the Chemistry Department faculty. Master’s students are expected to participate fully in the scientific life of the Department and to attend the various meetings and seminars that take place.
