Master of Chemistry in Materials Chemistry

The professional master’s program in materials chemistry is a part-time program designed for scientists who wish to broaden their background in synthesis, characterization, and properties of materials and chemical systems. The program combines modern materials design and synthesis strategies with innovative characterization techniques, computational and simulation methods, project management, technical communication, and intellectual property management. It is structured to provide students with opportunities to develop a broad understanding of materials synthesis and characterization, to learn to design and manage projects, and to sharpen their intellectual property management.

Candidates seeking admission to this program must have a bachelor’s degree (ideally in science or engineering), with at least two semesters of organic chemistry and two semesters of calculus. The academic adviser will assist students in determining whether any prerequisites are necessary. A final comprehensive examination is required for graduation. This program is also available on the web. Students should consult science.iit.edu/chemistry  for more information.
