This program will allow students to complete a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a Master of Science in Computer Science in a five year format. One specific objective of the program is to prepare students to enter the field of Computational Chemistry. In general, the program would allow students to acquire expertise in two distinct knowledge bases so that they will possess the capability of managing technological applications and innovations across the two disciplines. Graduates will be prepared to pursue advanced degrees or to enter industry.

We offer two tracks in this five year program:

1. ACS certified BS in CHM/MS in CS, and
2. BS in CHM/MS in CS

Requirements: BS in Chemistry/ MS in Computer Science (5 Year Program)
