Applications for admission to the graduate program in chemistry
should be submitted no later than March 1 for the fall term if the
applicant wishes to be considered for assistantships, fellowships, or
other financial aid. For applicants not requesting financial aid, the
application deadline for the fall term is August 15 and the application
deadline for the spring term is January 1. It is sometimes possible to
begin the graduate program during Summer Session. Visit http:
//camchem.rutgers.edu for more information.
Applicants must satisfy the following criteria:
1. Complete, by the date of enrollment in the graduate program, a
baccalaureate degree with a major in chemistry or a related field.
2. Submit transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work.
3. If seeking financial aid, submit the results of the Graduate
Record Examination (GRE), preferably including the subject test.
4. Submit three letters of recommendation.
5. Submit the completed application form.
6. International students must submit TOEFL test scores.
Students with academic deficiencies in their backgrounds might be
admitted on probation and often are required to take an undergraduate
chemistry course in their first term, or they might be accepted as
nonmatriculated, meaning they must take prescribed undergraduate
chemistry courses prior to admission into the graduate chemistry
program.
Applicants are requested to consult the preadmission
section of the chemistry department`s web site, http:
//camchem.rutgers.edu/ admission.html, before submitting the
university`s official application.
