The Ph.D. degree in chemical physics is conferred on
qualified students whose interests lie in areas of research that overlap both
chemistry and physics.
Fellowships are awarded in recognition of academic achievement and in
expectation of scholarly success. Teaching experience is considered an
important aspect of the training of graduate students, so all graduate
fellowships include some teaching apprenticeship.
Special Admission Requirements
Columbia
does not offer a free-standing program in Chemical Physics leading to the M.A.
only; therefore, the Subcommittee will consider applications only from
prospective graduate students who intend to pursue a Ph.D. degree.
In addition to the requirements listed below, all students must submit
1 official transcript showing courses and grades per school attended, a
Statement of Academic Purpose and 3 letters of evaluation from academic sources. All
international students whose native language is not English or whose
undergraduate degree is from an institution in a country whose official
language is not English, must submit scores of the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL) or IELTS. For more information, refer to our Admissions Information and Frequently Asked Questions pages.

The usual undergraduate preparation is a major in physics, chemistry, or chemical physics. It is desirable that the physics major have a broad knowledge of general chemistry and that the chemistry major have a broad knowledge of general physics. If such undergraduate training is lacking, it must be acquired early in the student’s graduate work.
