Chemistry student at Montclair State

Chemistry (Combined BS/MS)

This 5-year degree program combines our BS and MS in Chemistry programs. A minimum of 138 credits of coursework is required for the combined BS/MS degree; 112 credits from the undergraduate program and 26 credits from the graduate program. Students should have taken at least three 300 level chemistry courses, including CHEM 341 at Montclair State University. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required. Students who have completed a BS in Chemistry are not eligible for this program. Students who complete the program will be awarded both degrees at the end of five years. The undergraduate component includes all requirements for certification of the BS degree by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training. The BS/MS program has more chemistry, mathematics and research requirements than the BS and MS degrees separately. If pursued independently, these two degrees would require a total of 152 credits and would take six years to complete.
