We do not admit students into the M.S. program. If you are interested in research you should apply to the Ph.D. program.

Online application is required. The online process opens in late October or early November for the following Fall semester. Apply at: http://www.gradadmissions.wayne.edu/apply.php

We recommend that international students have all materials submitted to Graduate Admissions by January to have the best chance of admission and support. Application should be done online, and transcripts and letters of recommendation, and supporting documentation should be sent to Graduate Admissions Office.

No, the Chemistry Department will be able to view the application materials sent to Graduate Admissions. We will review and make decisions on applications. Official notification of admission status comes from the Office of Graduate Admissions.

No. Your official transcripts in your native language and in English, as well as the degree certificate in your native language and English are required.

Although not strictly required, we strongly recommend that international students submit their GRE scores. Your application may be adversely affected if you do not.

The absolute minimum iBT score is 79, computer TOEFL 213, or written TOEFL 550. However, due to the competitive nature of admission, the minimum score may not be sufficient to gain admission.

You may submit unofficial copies of GRE or TOEFL for evaluation purposes but official copies are required before a formal offer may be made. In addition, your personal statement, transcripts, TOEFL and GRE scores can be uploaded when you fill out the online application. We strongly recommend you attach whatever documents you have access to at that time.

All students admitted to the PhD program receive generous support in teaching or research assistantships. Note: you do not need to submit financial support documents with your application. If accepted, your letter of offer for assistantship will serve as proof of financial support.

You can check your application progress by logging into pipeline: http://pipeline.wayne.edu You will be sent an access ID and a password by the Office of Graduate Admissions once they receive your application. The Department of Chemistry begins reviewing applications in February. If you have not been contacted by that time, you may email gradadmit@chem.wayne.edu to inquire about the status of your file.
