OPEN-NJ applies this to academically strong students pursuing chemistry and biochemistry Master of Science degrees. Program graduates are expected to contribute to the continued success of Northern New Jersey&#8217;s chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Graduates will add to the well-trained workforce contributing to the economic growth nationally and in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Support services include a review of general chemistry during summer orientation, dedicated tutoring and faculty mentors and a learning community. The program enables students to move between disciplines. They can come to chemistry with a new perspective, understanding applications and making connections and apply what they learn.<\/p>\n<h3>Advantages to Students<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Learn about careers and explore their interests via mentor meetings<\/li>\n<li>Participate in workshops on resume preparation, interviews and on different aspects of professional skills development. The lessons learned, determined through the program evaluation, will provide useful data for other field-to-field transitions within STEM.<\/li>\n<li>Receive a scholarship (<strong>$10,000\/year for 2-3 years<\/strong>) to enter one of the eligible programs at 精品成人福利在线:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.montclair.edu\/programs\/pharmaceutical-biochemistry-ms\/\">Master in Pharmaceutical Biochemistry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.montclair.edu\/programs\/chemistry-ms\/\">Master in Chemistry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/catalog.montclair.edu\/programs\/biochemistry-concentration-chemistry-ms\/\">Master in Chemistry with a Concentration in Biochemistry<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Opportunity to receive a $4,500 summer research stipend<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>This material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nsf.gov\/awardsearch\/showAward?AWD_ID=2030879\" target=\"_blank\">Grant Number 2030879<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Program Requirements<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Completed\n<ul>\n<li>General Chemistry I (with lab)<\/li>\n<li>General Chemistry II (with lab)<\/li>\n<li>Organic Chemistry I (with lab)<\/li>\n<li>Organic Chemistry II<\/li>\n<li>Calculus I<\/li>\n<li>At least one year of Physics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>US citizen, national, admitted refugee or permanent resident<\/li>\n<li>Enrolling part-time in a 精品成人福利在线 Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry MS program<\/li>\n<li>Financial aid eligible as determined by the Office of Financial Aid<\/li>\n<li>Committed to participating in all OPEN-NJ meetings including networking events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Apply<\/h2>\n<p>Apply to the University&#8217;s <a href=\"\/graduate\/how-to-apply\/\" title=\"Home \u00bb 精品成人福利在线 \u00bb The Graduate School\">Graduate Program<\/a> through the <a href=\"\/graduate\/\">Graduate School<\/a> website <strong>AND<\/strong> email Dr. Nina Goodey, <a href=\"mailto:goodeyn@montclair.edu\">goodeyn@montclair.edu<\/a>, to indicate interest in the Program.
