The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers both Doctorate and Master level
graduate degrees.
A Ph.D. degree can be earned in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology,
or Environmental Chemistry.
The chemistry graduate experience at UAF is tailored to the students interests.
The Environmental Ph.D. program at UAF can be interdisciplinary so that
interaction with research institutes (such as the Geophysical Institute, the
Institute of Arctic Biology, the Institute of Marine Science, or the Institute
of Northern Engineering) is one option available to the student. The Ph.D.
program in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology at the University of Alaska Fairbanks
is ranked within the top 200 Biochemistry programs in the nation. Master of
Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S.) degree programs introduce students to
advanced topics in chemistry and provide intimate contact with a research
environment. Students are introduced to sources of advanced information in
their fields and to the enjoyment of research. There are few fixed
requirements. Individual programs may be tailored to the career goals and needs
of the individual student. Up to 12 credits toward the M.S. degree may be
earned for research and the preparation of a thesis. No thesis is required for
the M.A. degree.
An on-line application is available. Initial evaluation of applications will begin January 15 for admission the following September.
Applicants from countries other than the USA should also visit Information for International Students at the Admissions Department home page.
