Doctoral program in Chemistry. The WVU Department of Chemistry is the only PhD granting chemistry department in the State of West Virginia. We have received R1 (highest research) designation from the Carnegie Classification System. We offer graduate students guaranteed competitive stipends ($23,000 for 2021-22 academic year) to support either a teaching assistantship or research assistantship, full University tuition waivers for a student’s time in the PhD program, as well as substantial annual meritorious fellowship support. We will begin reviewing applications for the Fall 2020 term in mid-December and our application deadline is January 15th. Details about the Department and the Doctoral program can be found in the attached document.
