A minimum of 138 credits of coursework is required for the combined BS\/MS degree; 112 credits from the undergraduate program and 26 credits from the graduate program. Students should have taken at least three 300 level chemistry courses, including CHEM 341 at ÌÇÐÄvlog. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required. Students who have completed a BS in Chemistry are not eligible for this program. Students who complete the program will be awarded both degrees at the end of five years. The undergraduate component includes all requirements for certification of the BS degree by the American Chemical Society Committee on Professional Training. The BS\/MS program has more chemistry, mathematics and research requirements than the BS and MS degrees separately. If pursued independently, these two degrees would require a total of 152 credits and would take six years to complete.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/academics\/programs\/bs-chemistry\/\">BS in Chemistry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/academics\/programs\/ms-chemistry\/\">MS in Chemistry<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Application Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you are a prospective Freshman or Transfer applicant, learn more about admission criteria <a href=\"https:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/admissions\/apply-and-check-status\/admissions-requirements\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Students with a GPA of 3&period;2 or above<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: Rolling admission<\/li>\n<li>Students will be sent an expedited application from Graduate Admissions to complete<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"prpl-drawer\"><div class=\"prpl-drawer-header\">Students with a GPA between 3&period;2 - 3&period;0<\/div><div class=\"prpl-drawer-content\">\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: Rolling admission<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transcript: Montclair transcript will be uploaded by Graduate Admissions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letters of Recommendation: Two (2) letters of recommendation, from persons qualified to evaluate the applicant\u2019s promise of academic achievement and potential for professional growth.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resume: A current resume is not required, but applicants are encouraged to include one.<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Statement of Purpose \u2013 Please write an integrated essay providing a response to each of the following questions:\n<ul>\n<li>What are your goals for graduate study and your future career?<\/li>\n<li>In what ways do your academic background and your professional experiences provide evidence of your potential for success in the program you selected and in your eventual career?
