The personal statement is part of the online application. Please tell us about your goals and plans and what specific area(s) of chemistry you’re interested in. 

We require three letters of recommendation from people familiar with you and your student and/or professional career.

NOTE: If you have completed the online university application and have listed contact information for your recommenders, they will receive an automatic letter request through which they can submit their letter. You will not need to request mailed hard copies. In lieu of that, letters on letterhead are also acceptable and should be mailed to the department in care of Graduate Admissions.

One original copy of the official transcript(s) of all previous university work is required. International students must also provide the official degree certificate.  Both should be sealed and signed by the university.

Please arrange for official hard copies to be sent to the department in care of Graduate Admissions. All degrees awarded should be documented. A list of university courses and their titles which do not appear on the transcript(s) should also be sent to the department:
