Key Summary
About: The Department of Chemistry, together with the Biotechnology Center at Tufts University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, offers a Master of Science (M.S.) for students seeking advanced study in chemistry and biotechnology. The programme blends a liberal-arts atmosphere with research-institution resources, featuring world-class researchers, personal mentoring, collaborative labs, and industry partnerships to develop skills in analytical chemistry, molecular biology, instrumentation, and lab research.
Career Outcomes: Graduates often move into research scientist, biochemical engineer, quality-control analyst, regulatory affairs specialist, laboratory manager, or biotech product development roles in pharmaceuticals, biotech firms, labs, or regulatory agencies. They may pursue doctoral study.
The Department of Chemistry jointly with the Biotechnology Center offers a Master of Science (M.S.) degree for students seeking an education at an advanced level in chemistry/biotechnology.
The graduate program in Chemistry at Tufts University is large enough to foster stimulating interaction among colleagues and provide research opportunities at the frontiers of science, but small enough to have a very favorable student/faculty ratio. Formal requirements are minimized to allow students the flexibility to tailor their M.S. program to meet their individual needs.
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.
