MS Chemistry - Green Chemistry and Engineering Concentration

University of Toledo

Graduate students in chemistry and chemical engineering can pursue a research-based M.S. or Ph.D. degree, a non-thesis M.S. degree or the Professional Science Master's Degree in Green Chemistry and Engineering. Regardless of degree track, students benefit from available graduate courses in green chemistry, environmental chemistry, green engineering, biofuels and traditional areas of chemistry and chemical engineering.

professional science masters (PSM) degree in green chemistry and engineering (gce)

The PSM-GCE is intended for students who want to concentrate their studies on principles of green chemistry and green engineering while incorporating aspects of business and other professional skills components into their degree and future career. The PSM-GCE is not a traditional research-based degree. It is designed as a terminal degree that prepares students for immediate employment opportunities in industry, government and non-governmental organizations.

The PSM-GCE addresses a need for scientists and engineers who are broadly trained in chemistry, chemical engineering, toxicology, environmental chemistry, life cycle assessment, chemical alternatives assessment, regulations and policy, and business.

The University of Toledo and the SGCE introduced the first PSM Degree in Green Chemistry and Engineering in the United States. Official PSM affiliation was approved by the National Professional Science Masters Association in September of 2015.
