Chemistry or biochemistry, the Department also accepts students with training in biology, chemical engineering, physics, and other disciplines, who may not have completed study in all of these core areas, but who have completed a rigorous program in an allied discipline and have sufficiently strong training in chemistry.

Full financial support is offered to our graduate students that are in good academic standing including tuition, stipend ($27,000 annual), and health insurance. Financial aid to beginning graduate students may take the form of a teaching assistantship or a fellowship, most commonly the former. In addition to the stipends for the nine-month academic year, full financial support is available during the summer for graduate students in good standing. Duties required of teaching assistants normally total less than twelve hours per week of laboratory instruction, supervision, and consulting with students. Although teaching assistantships are available to students beyond the first year in graduate school, most students ultimately are supported from research grants or fellowships and devote full time to their research programs. Some teaching assistants are awarded supplementary fellowship support in recognition of their undergraduate records.
