The University of Oregon has several internship-based programs leading to the master's degree in Chemistry. Information about these programs can be found at the links below.
Graduate students in the UO Chemistry and Biochemistry Doctoral program may also choose to earn the master's degree along the way. Departmental requirements are the same as those set forth by the Division of Graduate Studies, and additional information can be found in the Student Handbook.

Advanced Materials Analysis and Characterization (AMAC)
Learn cutting edge characterization and earn a paycheck during your internship. The AMAC is a 15-month program culminating in a MS in chemistry. Completion of the program requires 54 total credits. 26 of these credits are graded and 28 are research internship credits, completed while interning with an industry partner.
In this program, you’ll learn advanced techniques in Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), SEM-FIB Microscopy (DB-FIB), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), and more. The priority deadline for the program is February 15th and the final deadline is August 1st.
Electrochemistry Master’s Internship Program
Electrochemistry underlies technologies critical to avert the worst effects of climate change. Chemistry, physics, engineering are all appropriate backgrounds for this internship.
The core program consists of 6-months of accelerated coursework and professional development coupled with a 9-month paid internship in industry or national laboratory. The 2021 average annualized compensation was $75,000 for the internships, with all students landing internships.
The goal of the program is for students to leave the 15-month program with minimal to no debt from their MS studies, an exciting job, and the foundation for a successful long-term career.
