General Information Regarding
the Graduate Application Process
Although M.A., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees are awarded, the Department
normally admits students to one of the following two degree programs.
- M.A. in Chemistry/Biochemistry. This program is primarily intended for part-time graduate students
wanting to gain a deeper understanding of chemical principles
at an advanced level. Admission to the M.A. program does not
include financial assistance from the Department.
- Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry. This program is intended for full-time students desiring an
advanced degree in chemical or biochemical research. Admission
to the Ph.D. program usually includes a financial assistance
package from the Department that provides a stipend and tuition
remission.
If you have questions about these programs or if you would like
to apply for other programs (for example, part-time study toward
a Ph.D. degree), please contact the Director of Graduate Studies:

Evaluation Procedure:
Once all of the appropriate materials are received,
the admissions committee will review your file. Evaluation of
applications for admission in the fall semester will begin the
preceding December and continue on a revolving basis until all
positions are filled. When a decision is reached, you will be
notified by email and a letter. In the interim period, you may check
on the status of your application by using your original User ID# and Password you can re-enter your application 3-5 days after its submission to see your applicant status page. Remember: Even if documents are sent overnight or by certified mail they still require several weeks to process here in in the graduate office.
If after this time, something still seems delayed, please contact Ms.
Susan Cheadle in the Department of
Chemistry and Biochemistry.
