FAQs

  • The program emphasizes independent, original research in collaboration with faculty, complemented by coursework and teaching experience. Students must maintain satisfactory academic progress, pass required examinations, and successfully defend a dissertation.
  • Students must complete coursework providing a thorough grounding in their chosen field and breadth in chemical sciences. They are required to pass oral examinations in their area of specialization. The median time to complete the PhD is about five years.
  • Students are admitted to the department as a whole, not to specific research groups. During the first autumn, students rotate with faculty members and typically join a research group by January of their first year, allowing flexibility in choosing a research advisor.
  • No, the GRE is not required for the Chemistry PhD program at UW.
  • Applicants must have at least a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from an accredited institution (a master’s is not required). A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for the last 90 graded quarter credits or 60 graded semester credits is required. Application materials include unofficial transcripts, three letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose outlining academic background, research experience, and alignment with faculty interests. International applicants must demonstrate English proficiency (e.g., TOEFL or IELTS).
