Application Forms and Procedures
Information for Prospective Graduate Students
You must complete both a Departmental application and
an application for admission to the Graduate College.
The Departmental application also serves as an application
for financial aid. You should make arrangements to take
the General Graduate Record Examination (General GRE)
and have the scores reported directly to the admissions
committee at the address shown below. The General
GRE score is REQUIRED. We also recommend that
you take and report the advanced GRE test in Chemistry.

Spring Semester Applications are due September

Summer Semester Applications are due February

Special Information for International Students:
All applicants to the graduate program in chemistry/biochemistry
who did not complete their high school and undergraduate
(B.S. or equivalent) work in an English speaking country
(U.S., U.K., Canada or Australia) must take the Test of
English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A score of 550
or better is required to be considered for admission.
We strongly encourage you to take the Test of Spoken English
(TSE). A good score (~45) will improve the likelihood
of your admission and a teaching assistantship. Upon arrival
you will be required to take both an oral and a written
English Proficiency Exam administered by the University.
Failure to pass these exams during the first semester
is grounds for withdrawal of financial support. A satisfactory
score on the TSE before your arrival will remove the necessity
of taking the University's speak test and will immediately
qualify you to take the teach test.
Because of the large number of applicants (~500 each year)
it is not possible to notify each applicant as the material
is received. Once the required documents are received
we will notify you that your file is complete.
