Graduate Information
Welcome to the Chemistry Department's Graduate Program at Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio! As faculty members, we look forward to working with you as you continue your education in the field of chemistry. You will find the graduate education experience at Wright State University an interesting and exciting transition from student to independent scientist.
The Department of Chemistry offers a research-based program of study in two dedicated Master of Science (M.S.) degree programs. The M.S. degree in Chemistry is available with research concentrations in the traditional areas of Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical & Theoretical Chemistry as well as in Environmental, Polymer & Materials and Bioorganic Synthetic Chemistry and in Chemical Education. The M.S. degree in Chemistry with a Concentration in Environmental Science requires additional coursework in interdisciplinary departments.
To apply to the Chemistry Graduate Program, follow the link at the top of the page to the WSU Graduate School. A graduate student that applies for admittance to the Chemistry - Master of Science Program is automatically in consideration for a Department of Chemistry Graduate Teaching Assistantship.
M.S. Graduate students begin the program by taking courses in Chemistry much as they did as undergraduates. Students complete their studies by presenting a thesis describing their own research, which contributes to the body of new knowledge in chemistry. The program takes approximately two years of work, and while you are taking courses, usually you will be serving as a teaching assistant for undergraduate courses.
