FAQs

• Is a Resume Required?

  

  This is also an option, but highly recommended. A resume allows you to present a complete picture of your experience and accomplishments to your faculty reviewers.

• Should I Submit a Statement of Purpose?

  

  Yes! This is mandatory and an application will be incomplete without it. This essay provides a valuable insight for the faculty evaluating your application. The Graduate School has guidelines on the Statement of Purpose at this link, and the Purdue Online Writing Lab has hints and advice for writing a quality Statement of Purpose at this link.

• What Should I Enter as My 'Area of Interest'? What Should I Enter as My 'Area of Interest'?

  

  Select one of the divisions that best matches your interests at this time. You may change your mind once you arrive on campus and are selecting an advisor. Many students become involved with projects which overlap divisions. We will use the division you select as a way to assign faculty to review your application. For example, if your resumé includes research or publications on inorganic chemistry and letters from inorganic chemists and you’re interested in learning more about this subject, then you will be best served by specifying inorganic chemistry as your area of interest.

• Can I apply for Spring or Summer Admission?

  

  No. Fall is our only admission period to the graduate program. We do not offer admission for Spring or Summer.
