Key Summary
About: The MSc in Chemistry at Tufts University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is a thriving research community that blends a liberal arts atmosphere with research resources. Projects span extra-planetary science, single-atom manipulation and therapeutics, focusing on the chemistry–biology interface, surface science and materials. Students work with researchers, receive mentoring, and use collaborative labs and industry ties.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles in academia and industry as research scientists, materials scientists, pharmaceutical chemists or R&D managers. They can enter biotech, materials manufacturing or pharmaceuticals, or continue to doctoral study, applying skills in design, spectroscopy, nanofabrication and surface characterization.
The graduate program in chemistry is a thriving community of researchers that engage in cutting-edge science. The projects range from extra-planetary science to single-atom manipulation, to the development of therapeutics. The areas of focus are the interface of chemistry and biology, surface science, and materials.
The M.S. in Chemistry is for students seeking an education at an advanced level in chemistry. Each student must pass eight graduate-level courses, at least six of which must be formal classroom instruction. With the approval of the student's adviser, up to one-half of the coursework may be taken in related fields outside the department of chemistry.
Learning Objectives
- Demonstrate proficiency in a range of graduate-level chemistry concepts.
- Write, display information, and orally communicate chemical science, both for nonscientific and expert audiences.
- Find, understand, and critically evaluate primary literature.
- Understand the importance of responsible conduct in all aspects of research including, but not limited to, matters of safety, ethics, honesty, and integrity.
- Execute laboratory techniques safely and skillfully.
