Chemistry

    The Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC) is the focal point of the collaborative research activities of the Graduate Center. It promotes interdisciplinary research, partners with GC Research Centers, Institutes and Interdisciplinary Committees, connects the research activities of CUNY faculty at the Colleges to GC research programs and seminars, and provides a home for outstanding visiting scholars to collaborate with faculty and students. ARC offers support to GC doctoral students pursuing research as well as to postdoctoral students who have completed their initial projects.

Chemistry

Introduction

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.

Program Inception: 1962

Specializations

Analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, molecular biophysics, nanotechnology and materials chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and polymer chemistry.
