Agreement Between TCU and ENSCM

A 3rd year student from ENSCM can come to TCU for one year (YEAR 3 of ENSCM), take some classes and pursue a research project. Upon successful completion, the student can receive a M.S. degree from TCU. If the student decides to stay to pursue a Ph.D., that year also counts toward the Ph.D. degree.

Our Department can also receive interns for 3-4 month (May-September). Since 2012, our department hosted TEN 3-month interns (Montchamp 5; Dzyuba 3; Simanek 1; Ryu 1).

Department of Chemistry And Biochemistry

“I was attracted to the TCU Chemistry Department because it is a focused PhD program where students do not get lost as numbers. The department has helped me to publish research, attend national research meetings, and even host my own ACS symposium. TCU has prepared me very well to teach and direct research in a university setting."

Texas Christian University (TCU) is a major teaching and research university with a “person centered” environment. With a controlled enrollment to maintain what it considers an optimum size, TCU currently enrolls approximately 8600 students, of which roughly 1000 are pursuing graduate degrees. The university enjoys an endowment currently valued in excess of $ 850 million. Located 35 miles west of Dallas and 25 miles from DFW Airport, the campus covers 237 acres in residential Fort Worth.
