· The department is home to approximately 190 Ph.D. students studying chemical biology, inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry, organic chemistry, and physical and theoretical chemistry. Our students work in a highly collaborative and team-oriented environment and have access to a number of centers and institutes at USC spanning the areas of cancer research, sustainability, alternative energy research, and quantum information technology. The department is distinguished by a number of honors including two Nobel Prizes (Arieh Warshel 2013, George Olah 1994).
· Our current standard Ph.D. stipend is $40,000 per year. In addition, this amount can be higher with a number of internal fellowships for the best applicants. There are no tuition or fees, and health and dental insurance are covered.
· Our graduate program does not have an application fee, and we do not require general or subject GRE. We do not require interviews for domestic students. We also offer early admission and competitive fellowships to a number of students.
· Our students are eligible for graduate research assistant fellowships from the university. These fellowships ensure that Ph.D. students in their critical second year of graduate school are able to fully engage in research and prepare for their qualifying exams. Our graduates continue onto successful careers in academic and industrial research, teaching, and government labs, in addition to nontraditional chemistry professions.
The application deadline for the next academic year is December 15, 2024. Students are encouraged to apply early.
As we prepare for the start of Autumn Quarter later this month, we are pleased to share new degree programs in environmental science, data science, finance, and management, and updates on UChicago's graduate offerings in the humanities and molecular engineering. As faculty, advisors, and mentors to outstanding students at your institutions and organizations, we hope these programs will be of interest to your students, now or in the years to come. Students can find more information about the admissions process, our outstanding PhD funding packages, professional opportunities, and more on each program's website.
Physical Sciences Division (PSD) - Two new programs – a master’s and PhD from the Committee on Data Science – will welcome their inaugural cohorts this month. We will also be accepting applications this year for a new MS in Environmental Science, housed in the Department of the Geophysical Sciences. The program will feature a data science core, capstone project, and opportunities to specialize in areas including climate science, ecology, and environmental policy.
Humanities Division - The renowned Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC) is now the Department of Middle Eastern Studies, which offers both a master's and PhD program. This follows the announcement in 2023 of the renaming of the Oriental Institute as the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures, West Asia & North Africa (ISAC). Application for the MA in Middle Eastern Studies is now exclusively through the Humanities Division.
Booth School of Business - This year, the Booth School welcomes its first cohorts in both the new Master in Finance and Master in Management programs.
Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) - The Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering offers the Master of Engineering (MEng) degree, in addition to doctoral programs in Molecular Engineering and Quantum Science and Engineering (QSE). The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) is based at UChicago, and brings together researchers from Argonne National Lab, Fermilab, leading universities, and corporate and nonprofit partners in this exciting field.

The Graduate Admissions office supports prospective students interested in master’s, doctoral, and professional programs across UChicago's graduate schools and divisions. Our website includes a searchable program list to assist students in identifying their best fit, as well as links to the separate application systems for each of the academic units. We look forward to working with your students if graduate study is part of their future plans.
Summer 2025 Undergraduate Internship Programs at Wake Forest University School Of Medicine
We are excited to share information about our diverse summer research internship opportunities here at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. These programs are broadly focused on research topics in cardiovascular sciences (EICS), Aging (ENGAGED) or Child Health (TRAC) and mainly for undergraduate students (the TRAC program has a broader learner focus). All programs are NIH-funded; applicants must be US Citizens or permanent residents and have a GPA of at least 2.85. Students from diverse backgrounds groups underrepresented in biomedical sciences are encouraged to apply.
We have attached flyers for three different opportunities- each QR code leads directly to the student application-also see below.
