Information on how to apply for graduate study at Stanford is available on the university’s  Graduate Admissions opens in a new tab website. Application information specific to Chemistry can be found on https://chemistry.stanford.edu/academics/phd-program/admissions opens in a new tab.

Internal candidates, Stanford students, should not apply to our PhD program unless they have done work outside of Stanford, e.g., industry, for at least two years. In rare instances, internal candidates who have home departments other than chemistry may be considered via the Graduate Authorization Petition process.
