The M.S. Program in chemistry at the University of Minnesota Duluth combines formal coursework and independent laboratory research. We stress the development of problem-solving skills that ensure lifelong professional success. Most students complete the M.S. degree within two years. All students accepted into the M.S. Program are eligible for financial assistance.
Most students receive half-time teaching assistantships for the duration of the program.
Some graduate research assistantships are also available, as well as a limited number of fellowships through the Graduate School on a competitive basis for highly qualified applicants. Assistantships provide salary for the academic year plus full tuition and excellent health benefits. Health insurance and dental coverage are included at no extra cost to the graduate assistant, and coverage for dependents is available at a reasonable cost. Additional support is generally available to students while working on their thesis research during the summer months. Admission Preparation Requirements .
