Additionally, 91³Ô¹Ï students may also be able to transfer three more undergraduate credits by examination based on advanced level course work at 91³Ô¹Ï towards WMU MA degree. Combined, students may acquire a maximum of nine credits that can be applied toward a master's degree from Western Michigan University.
Students applying to this program are eligible for a WMU application fee and GRE waiver.

- CHEM 330 Instrumental Methods of Analysis
- CHEM 321 Advanced Organic Chemistry
- CHEM 322 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry
2) Credit by examination: a maximum of three credit hours based on the evaluation of the final writing projects for CHEM 401 Chemistry Project Development / CHEM 402 Chemistry Practicum may be applied toward a master's degree at WMU. WMU Department of Chemistry Faculty will determine the basis for evaluation and the awarding of credit.
