UM Chemistry/Application to Graduate School

Application to Graduate School

Prerequisites for admission to graduate programs in Chemistry include:

  • Satisfactory record of undergraduate coursework in chemistry
  • GRE general examination test scores (or departmental waiver)
  • TOEFL for most international applicants
  • Admission to Graduate School at the University of Memphis

Teaching and research assistantships, including a competitive stipend and all tuition and fees, are available only for full-time students.  Competition for assistantships is vigorous, and there is no guarantee that all admitted students will receive financial assistance.  Once an assistantship has been awarded, it will continue until graduation, so long as you are making satisfactory progress towards your degree.

Please submit the form below to apply for an assistantship or to request more information.

Do not send application materials to the Graduate Coordinator. These materials must be sent to the Graduate School. Your application can not be processed or considered by the department until your application to the graduate school is complete. Also, note that assistantships can not be approved until you are fully admitted to the Graduate School.
