Graduate Research
Master's and PhD research takes place in areas of faculty expertise including atmospheric health and environment, human health and brain function and molecular synthesis.
Graduate students receive full tuition and a nine-month stipend as they pursue master's or PhD degrees in chemistry and biochemistry, working as either graduate research assistants (GRAs) or graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). All first-year graduate students teach during all three academic quarters in their first year. In addition, GRAs work extensively on their thesis research in the summer with support from their faculty advisor's grant funding.
