How to apply

Entry requirements for University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

An undergraduate degree in chemistry, physics or a related field is required for admission. The preferred minimum undergraduate GPA for admittance to the program is 3.2.

　　Prospective graduate students should have adequate undergraduate preparation in chemistry, physics and mathematics.

　　Three letters of recommendation and scores from the GRE general test are required for all applications. In addition, international applicants are expected to provide scores of at least 587 (paper), 240 (computer), or 95 (Internet) on the TOEFL.

　　A Subject GRE score is not required but if available will help the admission committee to make better decisions, in particular in cases where undergraduate transcripts are more difficult to evaluate (which is especially true for international applicants, who are strongly encouraged to submit the GRE subject score). The Subject GRE can be taken in Chemistry, Physics, or a related discipline.

　　International applicants must submit score(s) from one of the following tests:

　　TOEFL

　　Internet Based - Total Score: 95

　　Internet Based - Speaking Score: 23

　　PBT - 587
