Domestic On-Line Application

Apply On-line

General Information

  • The Chemistry Department will pay the application fee for domestic applicants. Domestic applicants should ignore the statement on the Graduate School application page that indicates an application fee is due and select "I will send a check."  Do NOT send a check.  The Chemistry Department will pay this fee.
  • Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Chemistry or in a closely related field with a strong Chemistry background.
  • The Department of Chemistry offers a number of financial aid packages to eligible students.
  • The Department of Chemistry offers a number of Honors Admissions Awards to highly qualified applicants.
  • The university has a FAQ to help answer your questions.

Application Requirements

  • A GPA of at least 3.0 (out of 4.0) in the sciences

  • Application and Statement of Purpose
  • Supporting Documents

However, if you have had your reference letters and transcripts already sent to the Graduate School, you do NOT need to resend them to the Chemistry Department.
