5-Year
Accelerated B.S. Chemistry-Traditional Track/M.S. Chemistry and Molecular
Technology
A candidate for the bachelor plus master's
degree must complete a total of at least 141 credits of college work, must
fulfill the requirements of the Chemistry B.S. and Experiential (Plan A,
Thesis) M.S. programs and must meet the general undergraduate curricular
requirements of the Camden College of Arts and Sciences.
We encourage chemistry students take50:198:111, Programming
Fundamentals as one of their General Education requirements.
To remain in good standing, students may only receive one D grade in the
chemistry/biochemistry undergraduate lecture courses.
To graduate with the M.S., the
cumulative GPA from graduate lecture-course credits must be a 3.0 or higher.
Any student whose average lecture-course GPA for a given semester falls below a
3.0 will be placed on academic probation. Only one C or C+ and a maximum of 9
credits may be counted towards the 30 graduate credits.

or six credits of (115 or 160) may be substituted with three
56:750:500-level (Physics) and three 56:121:500-level (CCIB) credits.
Additionally, students are required to complete the following
courses from other departments:

50:750:203 & 204)
Faculty Adviser and Committee. All students will find a faculty
adviser (by mutual consent) at the end of their junior year. With the guidance
of the faculty adviser, two other individuals will be appointed to form the
student's thesis committee. The committee oversees the selection of a research
project, judges the acceptability of the thesis, and conducts the final
examination.
Research Initiation. At the beginning stages of the graduate portion
of the research project, an outline of the topic is presented during seminar
for approval. The deadline is mid-semester of the student's first term as a
graduate student.
Thesis Presentation and Final Examination. The thesis
presentation is given during the semester in which the student completed his or
her course of study. The presentation is open to the public and possibly
scheduled as a research seminar.
A diploma application must be submitted online in accordance with the
deadlines that can be found at
https://graduateschool.camden.rutgers.edu/graduation.
The Application for Admission to Candidacy for Degree (side one) should be
completed by the candidate and submitted to the graduate director prior to the
examination/defense. Application forms are available at
https://mbs.rutgers.edu/sites/mbs.rutgers.edu/files/documents/mbs_candidacy_form_camden.pdf.
The student must inform the graduate director of the intent to complete the
final examination/defense. The examination must be completed in accordance with
the schedule established by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate
School-Camden and the chemistry program. In the event of an unfavorable
decision, the examination may be repeated twice.
