Accelerated B.S./M.S.
This is an accelerated program designed for
especially well-prepared students. It is a concentrated four-year course of
study resulting in both a B.S. and an M.S. in chemistry. Course work in the
regular academic year is supplemented with summer research. In the fourth
year a master's thesis based on original research is completed and defended.
