Our undergraduate and graduate programs include existing BS, BS\/MS and MS degrees in Chemistry with specializations in Chemistry and in Biochemistry.\u00a0 In conjunction with secondary education, we also offer BA in chemistry education leading to NY state 7-12 chemistry certification. We strive to offer an integrated, broad-based, challenging educational experience to imbue students with the intellectual, experimental, and on-line interactive skills necessary to perform effectively in any field related to the chemical and biochemical sciences. The educational goals and pre-professional training of our programs are designed to deepen a student\u2019s molecular perspective of the natural world with modern, quantitative and mechanism-based approaches, and to equip the student with the skills needed to thrive in the workplace.<\/p>\n The Chemistry MS program offers coursework and laboratory training for students preparing for careers in health, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and computational areas, or who plan to pursue PhD programs. Financial support is available for qualified stude\u200bnts through fellowships, or positions as teaching or research assistants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#e71939″ open_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e71939″ admin_label=”Accordion” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ toggle_text_color=”#e71939″ toggle_font=”Open Sans|600|||||||” body_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”|20px||20px|false|true” custom_padding=”||||false|true” border_color_all=”#000000″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Chen Group” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Hersh Group” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Jang Group” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Liu Group” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Rotenberg Group” _builder_version=”4.17.6″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Pathak Group” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Mirkin Group” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Wang Group” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Office Information” use_icon=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ header_font=”Open Sans|600|||on|||#e71939|” header_text_color=”#e71939″ body_font=”Open Sans||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ body_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||8px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Chair: Dr. Sanjai Pathak<\/p>\n Deputy Chair: Dr. Chen Wang<\/p>\n Associate Chair: Dr. Yu Chen<\/p>\n Secretary: Ms. Elizabeth L.
