Hello fellow chemists, Upon much deliberation, I've come to the conclusion that even though I LOVE organic synthesis, a PhD might not be the best route for me in terms of years of commitment and other personal beliefs etc. However, I know a BA in Chem is limited in depth and would love to get at least a MSc in organic synthesis (transition metal-catalyzed transformations etc). Once again, my search on google didn't return any favorable results as to good schools that actually offer MSc in chem. Most schools seem to have only PhD programs. Do you know of any schools that have master's programs for chemistry? Please list as many as you can! Thanks y'all and I hope everyone's week is off to a FANTASTIC start!

thanks, Kitkat & Eigen for your comments! I may just have to take a year or 2 off to get my master's. I know some (not so prestigious) state schools do offer part time/evening classes. I'm just not comfortable with getting a master's from such universities. any thoughts on this? in terms of job prospects, is a master's from an ok state school considered a master's, if you know what I mean?? will i be looked down upon by a prospective employer is they saw my master's was from a mediocre state university? just wondering...

Hey guys, I'm currently teaching chemistry at a high school, but also looking to earn a MSc degree at the same time mainly because the school I teach at will cover the cost of the master's degree. Unfortunately, due to the amount of work that I have during the school year, I can't really take any evening classes or anything of that nature. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good universities that offered graduate level courses in the summer which eventually lead to a master's degree. My goal is to get a master's in chem as I still have my heart in research and would like to work in industry in the near future. So please do let me know if the school that you're enrolled at offers graduate level courses in the summer or if you know of any school that does that. I've done several searches on google, but can't seem to find any programs out there. Thanks y'all!
