Graduate Student Awards - 2008

Established in 1901, the Princeton University Graduate School has won international recognition in the natural sciences, mathematics, philosophy, and humanities. Its graduate students in chemistry learn in an especially stimulating educational environment. The program is small and highly personalized, giving every student the opportunity to work closely with faculty mentors and to engage fully in important research projects as they develop their individual capabilities within a community of scholars.

Currently, there are approximately 130 graduate students and 35 postdoctoral students in Chemistry. There are no formal divisions within the department, and communication among faculty members and students is enhanced by having facilities housed in one building complex. Collaborative projects among groups are common, as are projects between Chemistry and other departments such as Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Molecular Biology.

The department is currently located in Frick Laboratory, containing the classrooms, laboratories, and offices of the chemistry department. However, in the fall of 2010, the department will be moving into a new state-of-the-art building which is now under construction.  More information and pictures can be found at http://www.princeton.edu/~chemdept/news/building.html

The Princeton University Graduate Program in Chemistry is flexible and provides students with the opportunity to create an appropriate curriculum for their specific interests and career plans.
