BA/MS or BS/MS Program in Chemistry and BA/MS in Chemical Biology
The combined BA/MS or BS/MS program is designed for a student who is majoring in chemistry or chemical biology and who wishes to pursue a MS degree in chemistry. 60 credit hours towards a bachelor’s degree is required, along with 9 credits of graduate coursework that can be counted toward both the BA/BS and MS degrees as indicated below. A student in the dual degree program may still use an undergraduate scholarship for the 4th year of college.
