Special Information for International Students:
All applicants to the graduate program in chemistry/biochemistry who did not complete their high school and undergraduate (B.S. or equivalent) work in an English speaking country (U.S., U.K., Canada or Australia) must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A score of 550 or better is required to be considered for admission. We strongly encourage you to take the Test of Spoken English (TSE). A good score (~45) will improve the likelihood of your admission and a teaching assistantship. Upon arrival you will be required to take both an oral and a written English Proficiency Exam administered by the University. Failure to pass these exams during the first semester is grounds for withdrawal of financial support. A satisfactory score on the TSE before your arrival will remove the necessity of taking the University's speak test and will immediately qualify you to take the teach test.
Because of the large number of applicants (~500 each year) it is not possible to notify each applicant as the material is received. Once the required documents are received we will notify you that your file is complete.
