Cost & Assistance

Most graduate students in the Department of Chemistry are supported as either teaching assistants or research assistants. Generally, first-year students serve as teaching assistants. The experience gained from a teaching assistantship is a valuable part of the total educational experience of a graduate student. An incoming graduate assistant will usually teach in the general chemistry laboratory program. This involves the supervision of laboratory sections of approximately 30 students, plus leading the discussion sections that precede the labs.

Fellowship awards for incoming students are also available on a competitive basis for applicants with outstanding records.
