Doctoral Doctorate in Science and Doctorate in Science Education |
The Department of Chemistry offers a Master of Science (MS) and Master of Arts (MA) in chemistry.
These programs are designed for students who hold Bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degrees in chemistry including at least one year of calculus based physical chemistry. Students with substantial backgrounds (e.g., those who has completed at least ACS-certified bachelor's level or work beyond the bachelor''s level) may have one more of the core course requirements waived, but the minimum number of 30 hours required for graduation still applies. These students should discuss the possibilities with the chemistry graduate advisor to determine whether their backgrounds are sufficient to began graduate work in chemistry.
Students with substantial chemistry backgrounds but who have undergraduate degree in such other disciplines as biology, medical technology, pre-medicine, or pre-dentistry may also be admitted to the graduate program to be graduate assistants and to begin some graduate course work while making up undergraduate deficiencies. However, courses taken to remove undergraduate deficiencies cannot be applied to total graduate hours. These students should discuss their situations with the chemistry graduate advisor to determine whether their backgrounds are sufficient to begin graduate work in chemistry.
In addition to the masters programs listed above, Ball State University also offers several Doctoral programs designed for students intersted in teaching science at the college level.
