Master of Science in Chemistry
为研究或高级研究生学习的职业生涯做准备 Master of Science in Chemistry in the College of Science and Technology at Temple. This master's degree is interdisciplinary and flexible, 旨在培养你在五个化学学科之一的专业知识. With the option to take classes full or part time, 你可以在继续专业工作的同时获得学位. You can pursue either a thesis track or program coursework, 两条轨道都强调对化学科学的重大研究. Work toward the Chemistry PhD, or prepare to lead research in biotechnology, environmental science, forensic science, healthcare and more.
您将在以下特定专业领域之一学习并进行原创和合作研究.
- analytical chemistry
- biochemistry
- inorganic chemistry
- organic chemistry
- physical chemistry
虽然有些课程在课程作业和论文轨道之间有所不同, 所有这些都有助于你对特定的学习领域有更深的理解, including environmental chemistry, materials and polymers, medicinal chemistry, nanoscience, photonics and surface science.
Some of the courses in this degree program focus on
- 纳米材料的关键化学和物理性质;
- 重要的物理和光谱方法的原理和应用;
- organic structure and organic reaction mechanisms; and
- quantum mechanics and its application to chemical systems.
Faculty members are involved in cutting-edge research into areas such as novel biological mechanisms; methods to study macromolecules; and ultra-intense laser fields. 研究在坦普尔最先进的中心和设施中进行，包括
- the Center for Advanced Photonics Research, 研究分子的光化学和光物理以及它们如何与激光脉冲相互作用;
- the Institute for Computational Molecular Science, 哪里的研究集中在高性能计算硬件上, applications and training across Temple; and
- the Temple Materials Institute, where faculty pursue research in the design, synthesis, characterization and modeling of advanced materials.

Coursework versus Thesis
选择课程作业还是论文取决于你的职业目标.
For students who want substantial lab experience, the thesis track involves more time performing research. The track culminates in a final, 研究生咨询委员会批准的原创研究论文.
对于已经在研究实验室有重要经验的学生以及目前在化学工业或相关专业工作的学生来说，本课程是理想的. This track includes a final examination, 在学生成功完成学位之前必须通过哪些考试. 期末考试取决于学生选择的专业领域，并侧重于每个专业的核心化学概念.
这两个方向都需要化学系的事先批准.
