The Chemistry Program
The Chemistry Department offers graduate study and research leading to a Master’s degree. The programs are designed to give students a great deal of flexibility in crafting a curriculum that meets their professional goals. Thesis-based options include an M.S. involving research in any of the traditional areas (Organic, Physical, Polymer, Inorganic, Analytical, and Biochemistry) and an M.S. with a concentration in Environmental Chemistry. Non-thesis options include a program that prepares students to apply to the Ph.D. program in Applied Science and a M.A. degree program.
Admission
William & Mary uses an online application system. Application materials consist of official transcripts and three letters of recommendation. The general and Chemistry subject GRE scores are not required but may optionally be supplied. The absence of GRE scores will not negatively affect the application. If English is not your first language, your Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores are required and must be sent directly to William & Mary by the Educational Testing Service or IELTS. Upon the recommendation of the chemistry program the TOEFL/IELTS requirement can be waived for applicants who will have received a degree from a college or university in which English is the primary language of instruction.
The Graduate Admissions Committee of the Chemistry Department considers admission to the Chemistry Master’s degree programs. Applicants interested in earning a Ph.D. in Applied Science based on research with one of the Chemistry faculty have the options of applying directly to the Ph.D. program in Applied Science or of applying to the Chemistry M.S. degree program with the intent of later applying for admission to the Ph.D. program in Applied Science.
