Chemistry - Mississippi State University

Chemistry from Mississippi State University is a Campus Master Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. The Department of Chemistry provides a flexible and dynamic environment in which to pursue a Master of Science degree in chemistry. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty with interests in Biochemistry, Environmental Chemistry , and Materials Science, as well as in Analytical, Inorganic, Organic, and Physical Chemistry. The faculty has active research programs in Synthesis (inorganic, organic, polymer and supramolecular synthesis), Surface Chemistry (catalysis and corrosion studies), Spectroscopy (IR laser spectroscopy and bioanalytical applications for Raman and Surface Enhanced Raman methods), Structural Biology (using NMR and computational methods), and Biophysical studies (including cancer drug discovery). Environmental research programs focus on the development of novel miniature chemical sensors and on pesticide and herbicide transport while computational chemists are developing Ab initio and semiempirical methods to study complex biological systems and important chemical processes. The research is supported by an array of in-house equipment. NMR spectrometers include 600-MHz and 300-MHz instruments. An EPR spectrometer and single crystal and powder X-ray diffractometers with CCD detection are maintained in the department. Students also have access to a wide range of instruments including UV-vis, FT-IR, and UV/Vis/near-IR spectrophotometers, as well as mass spectrometers, including GC-MS, LC-MS, and quadrupole ion trap instruments. Individual research labs maintain an array of instruments including: lasers, an atomic force microscope, a Laser Raman microscope, ITC and DSC microcalorimeters, a stopped-flow UV/vis system, a spectrofluorimeter, a Circular Dichroism spectropolarimeter, a scanning electrochemical microscope, and numerous GC\\\'s and HPLC\\\'s. Research and teaching assistantships are available. View more details on Mississippi State University . Ask your questions and apply online for this program or find other related Chemistry courses.
