The Master's program in chemistry has undergone considerable growth during the past few years.
Students regularly coauthor publications with faculty on their thesis research projects.
Fourteen students were enrolled in the program during the 1998-99 academic year. Although many of our students have undergraduate degrees from universities and colleges in North Carolina and neighboring states, we also have attracted foreign students from China, India, Korea, Greece, Ecuador, and Togo in the recent past. The track record of our graduates is outstanding. Many graduates have continued their education in prestigious PhD programs, while others have assumed research positions in major chemical industries throughout the nation. Many have accepted positions with industries having regional facilities such as Catalytica Pharmaceuticals, Glaxo Wellcome, Environment One, Metrics, and Southern Testing as well as the ECU School of Medicine.
