The Department of Chemistry at Western Â鶹´«Ã½Ó¦Óà University offers graduate programs in chemistry that combine traditional classroom learning with a research experience to prepare a student in matters of critical thinking, experimental design and methodology, data evaluation and scientific ethics. Students will work with an advisor to select a research topic and achieve timely completion of research objectives through group meetings, routine reports, submission of manuscripts for publication, or presenting at local, regional or national meetings.
IMPORTANT: Applications are due February 1 for fall admission. The committee reviews applications in mid-February. You can expect a decision by March 15. *NOTE: Applications for self-funded students are accepted for both fall and spring terms. If you are self-funded, please email Courtney.Buckmaster@wmich.edu immediately after submitting your application.
