PhD in Chemistry

SUNY Stony Brook University

The Department of Chemistry, within the College of Arts and Sciences, offers courses of study leading to the degrees of Master of Arts in Teaching Chemistry, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Students in the M.A.T. program must register through the School of Professional Development. A student in the Ph.D. program may choose dissertation research in any one of the diverse areas of chemistry represented by the interests of the program faculty, or may choose an interdisciplinary topic under the guidance of a faculty member in another program. Coordinated activities exist with several programs, and include optional concentrations in chemical physics and chemical biology. The department prizes excellence in teaching by both its faculty and graduate students. Stony Brook’s bright and enthusiastic undergraduates provide our graduate students with a stimulating and rewarding teaching experience. Graduate students also interact closely with the faculty who teach the undergraduate courses, and they often develop long-lasting relationships as a consequence of such collaborations. Graduate students who have excelled in teaching and research are honored at the department’s yearly awards ceremony. The Ph.D. program in Chemistry at Stony Brook aims to train a new generation of scientists to take leadership positions in research and teaching.
