PhD in Chemistry

This doctoral program emphasizes research in areas such as nanotechnology, clean energy and sensors for biomedicine, and prepares students for real-world challenges. The culture is collaborative, with one-on-one mentorship from faculty on questions in medicine, environmental science and green chemistry. Students use modern instrumentation at the Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center. The curriculum is flexible so each student can tailor research and study to career goals, supported by courses in chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology. Students may develop teaching skills at the teaching and learning center, explore bioprocessing at a biomanufacturing training center or take business school courses. Applicants can inquire or apply from the program page, which also links to admission requirements. Students are expected to produce original research that moves their field forward.
