Prospective Graduate Students
Thank you for your interest
in graduate education at the Department of
Chemistry, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Our graduate programs
(Ph.D., M.S. and M.S. - Biochemistry) offer exceptional research
opportunities for advanced training in a wide variety of
chemistry-related disciplines including Organic, Physical, Analytical,
Computational, Materials, Biochemistry and Chemical Education. The
graduate student to faculty ratio in the department is nearly
one-to-one. Consequently, our diverse student body receives a high level of
individualized interaction with excellent faculty through customized
research projects, specialized course work, professional development and graduate seminars. In
addition, many of our research programs offer exciting
interdisciplinary collaborations with local scientists, as well as with
scientists nationally and internationally. |
