Registration for our Virtual Open House is due the day before each event. Participants only need to register once; once a participant has been added to the email list, they will be included in all future communications about this year’s Virtual Open House events.
Participation neither obligates students to apply for our PhD program nor guarantees consideration for study at MIT. Log-in details for the event will be sent on the morning of each panel following registration. This event is targeted towards applicants underrepresented in the chemical sciences who are interested in pursuing a PhD in Chemistry at MIT. We hope that this open house will be useful while prospective students prepare applications for our PhD program.
Information about applying to our PhD program can be found at the Application Process and FAQ pages. After reviewing, please direct any questions to chemgradeducation@mit.edu.
