About Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spec Schools

Intensive Learning & Training on Mass Spec

A variety of mass spectrometry schools in the U.S. and around the world offer valuable training on fundamental principles as well as specialized techniques. These "schools" typically provide 3–5 days of structured instruction. Summer programs, in particular, are popular among students seeking immersive learning experiences.

To add your "school" to this list, please contact info@asms.org.

In addition to the schools below, we invite you to join us for ASMS Short Courses offered in-person at the annual conference (late May-early June). Several online short courses are typically offered in November and December. ASMS Short Courses are 1-day or 2-day events.
