Asked by Abhidhek Kaushik almost 2 years ago
There are many universities in the US that have strong programs in computational chemistry at the Ph.D. level. Some of the top programs include:
- Stanford University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
- University of California, Berkeley
- California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
- University of Chicago
- Harvard University
- Princeton University
- The University of California, San Diego (UCSD)
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- University of Colorado Boulder
It's worth noting that this is just a short list and there are many other universities with strong programs in computational chemistry as well.
Admission requirements for Ph.D. programs in computational chemistry in the US can vary by university and program, but there are some general requirements that are common to many programs. In general, you will need to have a strong background in chemistry and a bachelor's or master's degree in chemistry or a related field.Â
You may also be required to have a certain GPA and to have taken certain prerequisite courses. In addition, you may need to take a standardized test such as the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and provide transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement or essay. Some programs may also require you to have research experience and to have published articles in scientific journals.
You can start early with your application and if you have any other doubts you can always come back and ask them.Â
