Launch Your Chemistry Career in Middle Tennessee:
Why Chemistry Analytics at MTSU?

If you have a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, or a related field and want to turn your scientific training into a career, the M.S. in Professional Science (MSPS) in Chemistry Analytics (CHAN) at Middle Tennessee State University offers an exciting path forward.

Located in Murfreesboro, just a short drive from Nashville, MTSU places graduate students in the middle of one of the Southeast’s growing technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and research corridors.

Chemistry + Data + Industry

The Chemistry Analytics program is designed for students who want more than traditional classroom-based graduate education. Students develop advanced analytical chemistry skills while gaining experience with modern instrumentation, data analysis, problem solving, and professional skills valued by employers.

The result is a combination of chemistry expertise and practical workplace preparation—a particularly valuable combination as industries increasingly rely on analytical data to make decisions.

A Gateway to Middle Tennessee's Growing Industries

The Nashville–Murfreesboro region provides access to a remarkably diverse employment landscape. Opportunities exist across:

  • Chemical and advanced manufacturing
  • Materials and Nanotechnology
  • Contract Analytical Laboratories
  • Quality Control and Quality Assurance
  • Research and Development

The region's expanding scientific and technology economy gives CHAN students opportunities to connect their graduate education with the needs of real employers.

Experience Beyond the Laboratory

One of the advantages of a Professional Science master's degree is its emphasis on connecting graduate education with the professional world. Students can develop not only technical expertise but also the communication, teamwork, project management, and problem-solving skills needed to succeed outside the academic laboratory.

For students interested in industry, this can provide an important bridge between "I have a chemistry degree" and "I am ready to work as a professional scientist."
