- Prerequisites
- Our program is intended for students with an undergraduate degree in chemistry or biochemistry, which is equivalent to the USF Bachelor of Science in Chemistry or Chemistry with a Concentration in Biochemistry (ACS-certified is desirable). This generally includes a third year course in physical chemistry, an advanced third or fourth year laboratory course (instrumental analysis, for example), and undergraduate research experience. Normally, an undergraduate degree in pharmacy or chemical engineering does not qualify for our MS program. If a graduate student is lacking proper preparation for graduate work based on our assessment of performance on entrance exams in two subject areas, then some advanced undergraduate coursework will be required.
