Chromatography (Certificate)

Illinois Institute of Technology

The Certificate in Chromatography program provides the fundamentals of separation science theory, the concepts of separation science, and their applications in solving analytical problems. The program also introduces the operating principles and applications of state-of-the-art LC/GC instrumentation and analysis. Covered topics include chromatographic fractionation extraction, emerging methods for the separation and analysis of complex mixtures, gas and liquid chromatography, optimization of LC and GC separations, and the diverse range of analytical applications amenable to GC/LC analysis.

Coursework from the certificate program may be applied toward a Master of Science in Analytical Chemistry degree, provided a grade “B” or higher was earned in that particular course. Admission to a master’s program is not guaranteed upon completion of the certificate program.
