Rolling Admissions

There is no formal application deadline. However, decisions regarding teaching assistantships for Fall are usually made beginning in December and end around mid-February. Deadlines for fellowships typically are earlier. It is, therefore, important that applicants submit all of their application materials before the beginning of December, as incomplete applications will not be considered.

Occasionally, there are a few teaching assistantship positions for students who wish to begin the graduate program in the Spring semester. This decision is based heavily upon the numbers of students that are in the Fall class of new students. There is no guarantee that there will be openings for Spring, and, thus, students are strongly encouraged to notify us by early summer if a Spring start is desired.

Please feel free to contact us via e-mail at: chem@unt.edu or by phone at (940) 565-3554 with any questions.

Admission Criteria

To apply for the M.Sc.or Ph.D. program, the following documents are required:

  1. Two letters of recommendation. Your recommenders should provide letters on their university or company letterhead (e-mail submissions sent to: chem@unt.edu are accepted).
  2. GRE scores. GRE scores of at least 146 on the verbal and quantitative sections are suggested (scores of 391 verbal and 555 quantitative are suggested on tests taken before August 1, 2011). Normally much higher scores are required to obtain departmental support(we can temporarily use copies).
  3. International students are required to submit a TOEFL score of at least 550 (paper-based exam), 213 (computer-based exam) or 79 (internet based). UNT also accepts the IELTS exam with a minimum score of 6.5 needed for consideration for admission. Normally much higher scores are required to obtain departmental support
  4. Transcripts from all universities attended (we can temporarily use copies).
  5. Statement of Purpose
  6. C.V.
  7. Appropriate Graduate School application. (Download appropriate application form from below, fill it out and and submit on-line to us.):
    U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents can find the application here.

This is extremely important as it will greatly expedite the processing of your application materials and avoid the chance that you will not be considered for any type of departmental support.

Applicants will be notified as soon as the application materials are received in the Department.
