Master
of Chemistry (MS)
School of Science
and Engineering
Atlantic International University
The Master of Chemistry (MS) program objective
is to provide students with the knowledge
and skills necessary to work in their chosen
field. Sample course studies include: Organic
Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry,
Geochemistry, Spectroscopy, Chemical Kinetic,
among others. The Master of Chemistry program
is offered online via distance learning.
After evaluating both academic record and
life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction
with Faculty and Academic Advisors will
assist students in setting up a custom-made
program, designed on an individual basis.
This flexibility to meet student needs is
seldom found in other distance learning
programs. Our online program does not require
all students to take the same subjects/courses,
use the same books, or learning materials.
Instead, the online Master of Chemistry
curriculum is designed individually by the
student and academic advisor. It specifically
addresses strengths and weaknesses with
respect to market opportunities in the student’s
major and intended field of work. Understanding
that industry and geographic factors should
influence the content of the curriculum
instead of a standardized one-fits-all design
is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach
to adult education. This philosophy addresses
the dynamic and constantly changing environment
of working professionals by helping adult
students in reaching their professional
and personal goals within the scope of the
degree program.
Important: Below is an example of the topics
or areas you may develop and work on during
your studies. By no means is it a complete
or required list as AIU programs do not
follow a standardized curriculum. It is
meant solely as a reference point and example.

Job Description
Master of Chemistry
Chemists seek out new knowledge about
chemicals and apply that knowledge in a
myriad of settings. Chemical research has
discovered and developed new synthetic fibers,
paints, adhesives, drugs, cosmetics, electronics,
and lubricants just to name a few. Many
chemists work in research and development,
where they conduct basic research investigating
the properties, composition, and structure
of matter and the combination and reaction
of different substances with each other.
When this research is applied and developed,
new products or processes are created. Chemists
use computers and a wide array of sophisticated
laboratory instruments to conduct their
research.
Chemists often specialize into areas of
analytical, organic, inorganic, physical,
theoretical, macromolecular, medicinal,
and materials chemists. But in one way or
another, all chemists are involved in the
process of developing new materials or improving
existing ones.
Skills Required
for a Career in Chemistry
Increasingly, chemists are expected to work
as part of interdisciplinary teams. As a result,
chemists need to have a basic understanding
of other disciplines including business, marketing,
and economics. Leadership abilities and good
verbal and written communication skills are
also beneficial. Individuals in this field
should like working with their hands and using
computer modeling to build scientific apparatus
and conduct laboratory experiments. Successful
chemists are curious individuals who can work
independently, focus on details, and remain
persistent.
