The School of Molecular Sciences online degree programs may require purchase of additional scientific materials to complete laboratory courses. Online students in this degree program are required to travel to Tempe campus to complete compressed in-person laboratory courses in CHM 237, CHM 238 and CHM 326. These laboratory courses will be offered during summer. This may impact your financial aid. Financial aid is available to those who apply and qualify, and students may receive funds to help cover costs for each semester of enrollment. The amount of financial aid that a student is eligible for varies depending on prior education experience and other individual factors. Learn more about summer financial aid and additional ways to cover summer costs. |
