PSM - Computational Chemistry
The Professional Science Masters Degree in Computational Chemistry offered by the MSU Department of Chemistry is designed to graduate individuals who are qualified to implement, manage, and support all aspects of computer usage in the modern academic and industrial scientific setting and who will serve as resources for modeling, visualization and data base activities.
Students in this program will complete a series of core courses in advanced chemistry, computer science and statistics. An essential component of this program is a one semester paid internship with a computationally intensive industry. Students may elect to take a Certificate Program in Business Management and Communications, which presents an introduction to skills critical to managerial success.
The program is open to students with the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in chemistry and requires five semesters to complete (including the industrial internship). The students course work is determined in collaboration with the admissions committee and is designed to ensure that they will develop professional skills in modeling, writing, scientific visualization and computational science.
