Read Hunter’s Focus on Fall plan.
Graduate level courses are offered at Hunter College and in the CUNY Graduate Center. Master’s programs can be completed as a full or part-time student, with or without a research thesis.
More About Graduate Courses in the Course CatalogThe Department of Chemistry offers courses for undergraduates who plan to major or minor in chemistry, as well as for students pursuing other degrees within the college. Courses for majors prepare the students for professional work and further study in chemistry and other fields of pure and applied science. Courses for the non-science major are designed to introduce students to some of the essentials of chemistry—both fact and theory—to build a foundational understanding of present-day scientific knowledge.
