The minimum grade point average required for admission is 3.0. The average GPA for students admitted for the 1999-2000 academic year was 3.84. No minimum scores are required. GRE requirement cannot be waived or substituted even if your undergraduate degree is in another field.
Undergraduate research is a decisive factor in admission.
It reflects the applicant s depth of interest in chemistry, potential for commitment to a doctoral program, and potential scientific creativity. The Department of Chemistry fully supports all graduate students for the whole term of their studies. The Department pays all tuition and related fees, and provides an annual stipend for living expenses. One of the conditions of this funding support is that every graduate student must serve as a Graduate Student Instructor for three semesters, during their first three years of residency in the program. Your application must be complete, including transcripts and test scores, by December 15 for this consideration.
