Chemistry Graduate Academics

The Department of Chemistry offers a range of graduate educational opportunities with strengths both in the fundamental areas of the discipline and in emerging fields and applications.

Students may obtain the MA degree in biochemistry jointly offered by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Biology from Hunter College, or the MA in education jointly offered by the Department of Chemistry and the School of Education of Hunter College. 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. Most graduate courses for master's programs are offered in the evening to accommodate the scheduling needs of the most part-time students possible.

Biochemistry - MA

The interdisciplinary program in biochemistry is jointly administered and staffed by members of the Biological Sciences and Chemistry departments. The master’s degree is offered as a terminal degree. Both first-year courses and advanced courses are available at Hunter College and/or at the Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue.

The MA in biochemistry prepares graduates for laboratory professions in academia or industry, further education in the health professions and continued studies in doctoral programs in biochemistry or other biomedical science.
