Welcome to the Chemistry Graduate program at Rutgers-Camden. In our program, we prioritize the importance of hands-on laboratory experience to ensure optimal learning and reinforce fundamental concepts. As a student, you will have the valuable opportunity to actively engage in modern chemical research, utilizing state-of-the-art instrumentation and technology. Through this experiential approach, we aim to cultivate your skills in effective communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving, which are fundamental for success in the field of chemistry.

We are excited to have you join our Chemistry Program at Rutgers-Camden. Whether you are looking to advance your career, pursue further studies, or enter the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, our program will provide you with the necessary skills and preparation for success.

The Experimental Track is ideal for students interested in advancing their careers in the sciences, particularly in professions requiring skills in chemistry such as quality control, clinical analysis, and materials analysis. Students in this track have the opportunity to work closely with faculty on research projects and complete a thesis.

Professional

The Professional Track is a non-thesis-based degree program suitable for mid-career science professionals or students seeking a part-time M.S. schedule. It is also beneficial for those looking to enhance their academic record for application to professional graduate schools. This track provides valuable knowledge in chemistry without the thesis requirement.

By the end of the program, you will have acquired the knowledge and understanding to apply the fundamentals of chemistry appropriately. You will have gained experience in standard laboratory activities, experimental design and execution, synthesis and characterization, accurate measurements, modern instrumentation, and chemical safety. Additionally, you will have developed the ability to locate scientific information within the chemical literature and effectively express chemical knowledge through written and oral forms.

Graduates of our program find successful careers in various industries, such as the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, and teaching positions, or they continue their education in Ph.D. programs in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, food science, materials science, or related fields.
