Admissions & Placement
The Department of Chemistry PhD Program considers applications for admission to the fall semester only. Chemistry applications are completed and submitted to the Graduate School in the fall of the applicant's senior year in college. Application materials include the Graduate School online application form (paper applications are no longer available), letters of recommendation, transcripts, official scores from the Graduate Record Examinations, personal statement, and, for foreign students, the TOEFL/IELTS score. All application materials and supporting documents must be submitted electronically or postmarked by December 8.
Competitive fellowships are typically announced in March; acceptance of an earlier offer of a teaching assistantship does not preclude later acceptance of fellowship.
