Overview
The coursework, hands-on experience, and other opportunities work together to make the Chemistry program of the Southeast Missouri State University an applied degree. Students interested in forensic science can choose the Forensic Chemistry Track as a complementary area of study.
There are two degree options for graduate studies in chemistry. The Thesis Option requires the completion of an independent research project and the writing and defense of a thesis describing the research project and its results. The Non-thesis Option requires a written critical evaluation of a specific area of study in chemistry and a written examination on topics covered in coursework completed by the student.
