Master of Arts
The Master of Arts in Chemistry is aimed at students who do not wish to pursue laboratory research or are unable to pursue laboratory research due to their work related issues. The M.A. in Chemistry is a non-thesis program that permits students to design programs of study, in consultation with the program advisor, that are compatible with the individual's goals and ambitions. The program is intended to be flexible; elective course work may be drawn from chemistry, science education, business, geological and environmental sciences or biological sciences, among others.
Admission requirements
The following criterion are required for the M.A. in chemistry:
- Application must be made both to the Office of Admissions - Graduate Admissions and to the Department of Chemistry.
- International students may be asked to take a test of spoken English proficiency based upon application materials and references.
- Three letters of recommendation from academic or professional sources should accompany the application.
- Application materials, including GPA, official transcripts, and letters of recommendation will be used in the determination of admission.
Application instructions
The Department of Chemistry at 澳门六合彩官网直播 has rolling admissions. As such, students may submit a graduate application at any time. However, it is highly recommended that applicants submit completed applications no later than six weeks before the semester for which they are applying. This allows sufficient time for your required documents to be mailed, received, processed and uploaded to your application; for the committee to review your application and reach an admission decision; for the department and university to process the decision; for you to consult with your graduate advisor and, finally, enroll in courses. All of this must happen ahead of semester deadlines. As such, applications submitted without sufficient time will be considered for the following semester.
IMPORTANT: Applications are due February 1 for fall admission. The committee reviews applications in mid-February. You can expect a decision by March 15. *NOTE: Applications for self-funded students are accepted for both fall and spring terms. If you are self-funded, please email Courtney.Buckmaster@wmich.edu immediately after submitting your application.
澳门六合彩官网直播 has a new online graduate application system that allows all students (domestic and international) to submit required documentation into one system. General application information for the University, as well as specific requirements for individual programs, are captured into this system. Applicants are asked to include some program-specific information. Applicants are encouraged to bookmark this information for quick reference while working through the graduate application process.
