Master’s in Chemistry: SUNY Brockport

What You’ll Learn

Our master’s program focuses on chemical sciences — analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, and physical studies. You’ll be trained to work with the instrumentation required for modern research in chemical applications, meeting the need for a high-quality workforce. From inventing life-saving medicines to researching food processes to teaching students how electrons are arranged in atoms — study with your peers in a small university atmosphere.

Curriculum

Choose from two plans of study:

Plan I is a thesis-based program that incorporates original experimental research. The program is ideal for those seeking positions in government or private laboratories.

Plan II is a non-thesis-based program with a more flexible course of study. The program is ideal for full-time employed students and professionals who teach adolescence education. It requires an independent literature-based research experience.

Graduate Research

Our seven research labs allow students to analyze nucleic acids such as DNA & RNA, study biochemical pathways associated with disease, use 3D printers to develop new scientific tools, and more. Contact the Graduate Program Director to discuss research opportunities.
