"I find it tremendously rewarding to mentor our doctoral students. Coming from all over the world, they learn to think critically and creatively, to nurture their excitement about research, to persevere, and to communicate their results effectively to others.
A famous example of how a mentor changed someone's life concerns Michael Faraday, a former bookbinder who, after a long apprenticeship with Humphry Davy, became the world's most incisive chemist of the 19th century. We hope our students follow in his footsteps in the 21st century." |

The Ph.D. Program in Chemistry is designed to prepare students for teaching and research careers in all the major areas of chemistry. It draws on faculty and facilities of five CUNY senior colleges through a unique consortium. Lecture courses and comprehensive examinations are given at the Graduate Center, while students choose a base college and mentor according to their interests. Although students teach and generally pursue laboratory research at a single college, they have access to facilities, including instruments, located at the other colleges.
Specializations
Analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, molecular biophysics, nanotechnology and materials chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, polymer chemistry, and theoretical chemistry. |
