Course Overview

The first of its kind in New Jersey, the MS in Cosmetic Science, introduced in 1982, continues to fulfill the needs of those responsible for creating commercial products in the cosmetics, toiletries, and fragrance industries. It enables practitioners to learn the latest advances in their field and helps students to develop the skills necessary for senior assignments in the cosmetics industry. It is also geared to technologists aspiring to supervisory roles in the laboratory or plant. For those without industrial experience, the degree can launch a career in the cosmetic industry.

The majority of students entering this program have already completed an undergraduate BS degree in an allied science; preferably Chemistry or Biology. We have a diverse mixture of part-time, full-time domestic, and full-time international students.
