Application | Courses | Degree Requirements | Financial Information | Library | Pi Alpha | Forms | New Student Resources Welcome to the web pages for Emory University’s graduate program in chemistry! All students offered admission receive a $22,000 stipend support as teaching or research assistants and full tuition scholarship, a small number of special fellowships are available for top applicants.
Emory Ph.D. chemists hold distinguished faculty positions at a variety of excellent colleges and universities throughout the United States and several foreign countries, and are also very well represented in the chemical industry. Each fall 12 – 15 chemical companies send representatives (usually Emory Ph.D chemists) to our department to interview our senior graduate students for Ph.D. level employment, and our graduates are in high demand precisely because of the strength of our research and educational programs. Emory graduate students certainly work hard and study hard, but we also have time for social activities. The Pi Alpha chemistry graduate student organization sponsors several department-wide parties each year. In addition, a summer river rafting trip has become an annual Emory tradition involving several dozen graduate students, faculty, and staff. The Emory campus is only a few minutes away from the cultural, artistic, and dining attractions of the city of Atlanta and its smaller but charming neighboring town of Decatur. The campus itself is set in a suburban Atlanta neighborhood, with a lovely tree-filled landscape with gentle hills and a pedestrian-friendly center quadrangle. An athletic facility is located across the street from the two adjacent chemistry buildings, and other academic departments including our medical school and the Centers for Disease Control are within a few minutes walk of the chemistry buildings. We hope that you will enjoy surfing our website, and we encourage all inquiries by telephone or e-mail. If you will be in Atlanta and would like to visit, please let us know and we’ll be happy to show you around the department and introduce you to the current students and the faculty! James Kindt & Brian Dyer Interested in a Site Visit? The best way to get to know the Chemistry Department at Emory University to come for a visit, so we invite you to come and discover for yourself what makes our graduate program a special place to obtain your PhD! The site visits are an excellent opportunity for an individual or groups to meet with our faculty, students and tour our state of art research facilities. Please contact Ann Dasher to schedule an appointment: gradchem@emory.edu.

Emory’s graduate program in chemistry consists of approximately 120 graduate students, and we admit approximately 25 students each fall semester. The current student body comes from 23 states representing all regions of the United States, as well as a dozen foreign countries. The graduate student body is evenly split by gender, and minority students comprise approximately 10% of our current students. Our program is large enough to have critical mass in most areas of chemistry, while still intimate enough for most of the students to know each other. Emory’s chemistry department is excellent not only in the traditional disciplines of chemistry, but also in many interdisciplinary areas, including biomaterials, organometallic chemistry, medicinal and bioorganic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, and various collaborations of computational chemistry with each of these areas.
