Master of Science [M.S] [Chemistry] From Youngstown State University

The Chemistry Department strives to promote an understanding of teaching, scholarship/research, and service as interdependent, inseparable components that synergistically contribute to its overall mission. In this context, the Department defines the following goals:

• To foster an increased understanding within and beyond the campus of the particular nature of the interactions between teaching, scholarship/research, and service in the chemical sciences and of how these components support one another;

• To encourage, support, and reward chemistry faculty who in their professional activity demonstrate the particular nature of the interactions between teaching, scholarship/research, and service in the chemical sciences;

• To help students understand the connections among what they learn in their chemistry classes, in their other university courses, and in their professional and personal lives outside of the university

• To develop opportunities for students both to apply classroom learning outside the classroom (e.g., research projects, cooperative education, technology development corporation projects, outside employment, public service activities) and to enrich the classroom through knowledge and experiences they bring in from the outside.
