The Advanced Materials Analysis and Characterization (AMAC) program is a 15-month long curriculum combining two quarters of intensive on-campus coursework with an internship component, culminating in a Master of Science degree in chemistry. The program requires 54 total credits: 26 graded credits and 28 research internship credits. 

The Center for Advanced Materials Characterization in Oregon (CAMCOR) operates this hands-on program, providing students with technical training on cutting-edge, major research instrumentation used in a variety of fields.  

Techniques covered include: 

  • Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)
  • SEM-FIB Microscopy (DB-FIB) 
  • X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) 
  • Time-of-flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) 
  • Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) 

This program provides graduate students with the analytical skills they will need for careers in industrial research laboratories and other technology companies.
