New Master of Applied Chemical Sciences Program - MACS
We are pleased to announce UCLA’s new Master of Applied Chemical Sciences (MACS) Program, enrolling students in Fall 2022. MACS was created in response to the high demand for chemists from world-wide industrial partners.
 
The program balances a strong academic grounding, hands-on advanced laboratory experience, and independent research to prepare the graduates for various dynamic fields in applied chemistry. The graduates will be well-rounded chemists, equipped with a broad level of critical skills and background knowledge, and highly competitive in a non-academic workforce.  As part of this program, we anticipate a significant industrial recruiting effort on campus.
