COURSE CURRICULUM

The MS in Chemistry program at DePaul University provides students with access to advanced facilities and a wide range of research opportunities that support both academic and professional development. The department includes seven dedicated teaching laboratories equipped with modern instrumentation and a machine shop, allowing students to gain hands-on experience with the tools and techniques used in scientific research. These resources help students develop practical laboratory skills and conduct experiments that are essential for careers in chemistry and related fields.Faculty members are actively involved in diverse research areas, giving students the opportunity to explore multiple specializations within chemistry. These areas include bioanalytical chemistry, biochemistry, biophysical chemistry, biophysics, chemical physics, computational chemistry, geochemistry, inorganic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry and synthesis, physical chemistry, and polymer chemistry. This wide range of research fields allows students to tailor their studies based on their interests and career goals while working alongside experienced researchers on cutting-edge scientific projects.The program is designed with flexibility to accommodate students who may have other commitments. Classes are held in the evenings at the Lincoln Park Campus, making it suitable for working professionals or those balancing additional responsibilities. Students can complete the program in approximately two years, allowing them to gain advanced knowledge and research experience within a structured and manageable timeframe. Overall, the program combines strong academic training, practical laboratory experience, and flexible scheduling to prepare students for careers in research, industry, or further graduate study.
