Fully Funded PhD in Chemistry at Emory University

About PhD Program,

The doctoral program in Chemistry offers a research oriented education that draws on an outstanding faculty and excellent research facilities in four major areas of concentration. Faculty engage in cutting-edge research, often in collaboration with faculty from related disciplines across the university.

In addition to the traditional disciplines of chemistry, we have strong research programs in interdisciplinary areas including biomaterials, organometallic chemistry, medicinal and bioorganic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and various collaborations of computational chemistry with each of these areas. Chemistry at Emory is a thriving research community, working on the frontiers of the field with state-of-the-art techniques and equipment.

PhD Program Degree Eligibility with GPA,   

In addition to the general Laney Graduate School application requirements, many programs require items specific to their application. For example, many require a writing sample, many ask for specific information about your research experience or other qualifications, and some programs require GRE scores (general test).  If you are an international applicant, you may need to submit TOEFL scores or a credential evaluation.
