Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The Department of Chemistry at Marquette University offers graduate programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees across a broad spectrum of fields including analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, organic, polymer, and physical chemistry as well as chemical physics. The program is STEM-designated, meaning international students are eligible to apply for 36 months of Optional Practical Training. The heart of the graduate degree is research, conducted in concert with a faculty mentor. Students in the chemistry graduate program will receive outstanding research and educational opportunities, leading to the master of science or doctoral degrees.
