What you will study

Normally, the minimum course requirement for both the MS and the PhD degrees is six one-semester graduate courses in chemistry and related sciences. Exceptionally well-prepared students may ask for a reduction of these requirements. Requirements for the PhD degree include a research dissertation worthy of publication, and a knowledge of chemistry and related material as demonstrated in an oral examination.

Application information

Entry requirements

We encourage (but do not require) applicants to report scores for the GRE general and GRE chemistry subject tests. Applicants who feel that GRE scores support their case are welcome to include them. Our application review process is holistic, and the Graduate Admissions Committee believes that standardized test scores represent only one piece of a candidate’s profile. Applicants for whom taking the GRE presents a burden or who feel it does not represent their skills are free to not include them. The application fee is $75.

Advanced Academic Programs charges a $90 non-refundable application fee per programme application for Summer 2027 and later terms.
