Graduate Degree in Chemistry
The MSU Chemistry Department offers an exciting range of
educational opportunities, with strengths in both the fundamental area
of the discipline, and in significant new areas and applications. The
Department of Chemistry offers a Ph.D. as the major graduate degree,
although a small number of students are admitted to the M.S. degree
program. Graduate-level course work and research opportunities are
available in physical, organic, inorganic, and analytical chemistry as
well as in a substantial number of cross-disciplinary and
interdisciplinary areas such as polymers, materials, surface science,
spectroscopy, theoretical chemistry, and biological chemistry.
Research Facilities
Teaching and research facilities are predominantly located in the
Chemistry Building, although faculty and students also pursue research
activities in the NIH/MSU Mass Spectrometry Facility in the
Biochemistry Building and in the MSU Superconducting Cyclotron
Laboratory. The Department has an excellent array of state-of-the art
equipment for compound characterization, structural studies, and
computational work. Notable examples include the Max T. Rogers Nuclear
Magnetic Resonance Facility, The MSU Shared Laser Facility, the
Chemistry Department X-ray Facility, and the Chemistry Visualization
Facility, all housed in the Chemistry Building. Graduate students have
access to all departmental equipment.
Financial Aid
Both teaching assistantships and research assistantships are
available in the Department. Outstanding graduate students compete for
fellowships at the department, college, university, and national level.
Research assistantships are available to work with faculty on funded
research projects.
The Application Process
Applications and descriptions of the programs available, including
research in progress, may be obtained directly from the Chemistry
Department. Transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and Graduate
Record Examination scores (General and Chemistry) are required.
Applicants should have the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in
chemistry by the time that they expect to enroll. International
applicants should also submit the results of TOEFL or MELAB tests.
While there are no formal application deadlines, early completion of
the application process is strongly encouraged.
