A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

- Description
- RIT’s master of science in chemistry prepares practicing chemists for the next phase of their career by focusing on independent research with faculty mentors and improving written and oral scientific communication skills. The program consists of core and focus area course work. You may select a concentration in materials scienc; biochemistry; or organic, analytical, inorganic, physical, and polymer chemistry. Or you may customize your own to meet your professional goals. To fulfill a graduation requirement, you may also choose between a thesis option or a capstone project. If you select the thesis option, you will be expected to complete an independent research thesis and pass an oral defense. Courses are offered in the late afternoons and evenings to encourage practicing chemists to pursue the MS degree without interruption to employment. Students employed full-time normally take one course each semester. At this pace, course work can be completed within four to five years.
