If you loved taking chemistry classes in high school, you should definitely consider being a chemistry major at Michigan Tech. As a chemistry major you will not only indulge your hunger for chemistry, you’ll also challenge yourself with hands-on laboratory and research experiences. Areas available for research include computational, analytical/forensic chemistry, inorganic and organic synthesis, physical chemistry, environmental chemistry, biochemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical biosensors, and nanomaterials and solid state materials.
As a chemistry major you can concentrate in:
Biochemistry
Chemical education
Chemical physics
Environmental chemistry
Polymer chemistry
Or major in pharmaceutical chemistry where you’ll study the molecular and mechanistic aspects of pharmaceuticals, or biochemistry and molecular biology with a focus on chemistry concepts.
Before you get ready to plunge into your chemistry career, here are a few things you should know about the program…
Undergraduate research is strongly encouraged; most students participate in either undergraduate research or co-op experience with a company (or both).
You’ll be able to use the state-of-the art studio laboratory for your first-year chemistry course; there is a special section of University Chemistry just for chemistry department majors.
Dr. Melvin Calvin is a chemistry Nobel Prize winner — the only one at Michigan Tech!
You can get free help on your assignments or work for the Chemistry Learning Center.
You’ll love the small class size with a 6:1 student-to-faculty ratio!
You’ll have the opportunity to attend national meetings like the American Chemical Society’s annual conference.
The chemistry program offers the flexibility to pursue a variety of options including independent research. Individualized programs are also available in forensic chemistry, pre-pharmacy, pre-med, and other exciting fields. Speak to a faculty member to set up a program that meets your interests and career goals! Chemistry graduates have gone on to pursue careers in pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, forensic sciences, biochemistry, medicine, law, science communications, teaching, and research.

The Masters Degree in Computational Chemistry offered by the Michigan State University department of chemistry is designed to graduate individuals who are qualified to implement, manage, and support all aspects of computer usage in the modern academic and industrial scientific setting and who will serve as resources for modeling, visualization and data base activities. Students in this program will complete a series of core courses in advanced chemistry, computer science and statistics. An essential component of this program is a one semester paid internship with a computationally intensive industry. Students may elect to take a Certificate Program in Business Management and Communications, which presents an introduction to skills critical to managerial success.The program is open to students with the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and requires five semesters to complete (including the industrial internship). The students course work is determined in collaboration with the admissions committee and is designed to ensure that they will develop professional skills in modeling, writing, scientific visualization and computational science.

The MSU Chemistry Department offers an exciting range of educational opportunities, with strengths in both the fundamental area of the discipline, and in significant new areas and applications. The Department of Chemistry offers a Ph.D. as the major graduate degree, although a small number of students are admitted to the M.S. degree program. Graduate-level course work and research opportunities are available in physical, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry as well as in a substantial number of cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas such as polymers, materials, surface science, spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, and biological chemistry.
