Integrated BS/MAT or MS Programs

Integrated programs permit students to obtain bachelor’s and master’s degrees in less time than it would take to do the programs separately. Students begin the master’s degree program during their junior and senior years. The integrated program in education, described under the Department of Education (p. 61), helps to fulfill a great unmet need for qualified chemistry teachers at the high school level. The integrated program in Chemistry and Library and Information Science leads to a BS in Chemistry and a MS in Library and Information Science. Information about this program can be obtained from the Chemistry department or from the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. Biotechnology and other private- sector and government research organizations actively seek science information specialists with this combination of qualifications.
