UCI's Master of Science in Chemistry offers two plans: a thesis option (Plan I) focused on original research, and a coursework option (Plan II). Both tracks require core graduate coursework and completion of a comprehensive assessment (thesis or oral exam). Students benefit from access to UCI’s research facilities and opportunities to participate in interdisciplinary areas within the physical sciences. The M.S. provides preparation for scientific careers or further doctoral study. 来源： https://engineering.uci.edu/dept/bme/graduate/prospective/admission-requirements
