Chemistry
Business Degree
This curriculum is well-suited to those interested in developing careers in the distribution of chemical products, such as marketing, patent law, sales and administration.
5-Year Accelerated B.S. Chemistry-Traditional Track/M.S. Chemistry and Molecular Technology
This program is for Chemistry majors interested in obtaining B.S. and M.S. degrees within five years. The student should notify the department of their interest in the Fall of their junior year.
5-Year Accelerated B.S. Chemistry-Biochemistry Track/M.S. Chemistry and Molecular Technology
This program is for Biochemistry students interested in obtaining B.S. and M.S. degrees within five years. The student should notify the department of their interest in the Fall of their junior year.
M.S. Chemistry and Molecular Technology,
Experiential Track
This is a thesis track, which is ideal for students interested in advancing their careers in the sciences. Professions requiring skills in chemistry include quality control, clinical and materials analysis.
M.S. Chemistry and Molecular Technology,
Professional Track
The non-thesis-based degree is ideal for mid-career science professionals who would benefit from a part-time M.S. schedule, or students seeking to enhance their academic record for application to professional graduate schools.
M.S. Forensic Sciences
The Department interfaces with and provides courses for the capstone-based M.S. forensic degree, which is ideal for students seeking to enhance their academic training for forensic science positions.
Ph.D. Computational & Integrative Biology
Many of our faculty are members of the Center of Computational and Integrative Biology – the entity at Rutgers-Camden that confers Ph.D. degrees upon students interested in computational or biological aspects of chemistry.
