Current research areas include chemical biology, nanoscience and materials, biomolecular and biophysical chemistry, synthetic chemistry, biomedical chemistry, and theoretical/computational chemistry. Chemistry at New York University has a long and distinguished tradition. The American Chemical Society was founded in 1876 in the original University building at Washington Square, and the head of the chemistry department, John W. Draper, served as its first president. Draper was an early pioneer in the development of photography, working with Samuel F. B. Morse. Robert Morrison and Robert Boyd, who both taught in the department, coauthored a textbook on organic chemistry that has trained a whole generation of chemists. Gertrude Elion, winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, received her M.S. from New York University. The department has approximately 18 faculty members directing research, nearly 90 full-time graduate students, and a substantial number of postdoctoral fellows and affiliated scientists. Recently, the department established the Molecular Design Institute, headed by Professor Michael D. Ward focusing on research in nano- and biomaterials design. Seminars and colloquia are an integral part of the departmental programs, and visiting scientists and students from all parts of the country and abroad present the results of current research. Distinguished guest speakers are drawn from academic and industrial institutions throughout the world. These visits expose graduate students to diverse and cutting-edge research work and allow them to exchange ideas with leading scientists.     Accreditation Information: New York University is a member of the Association of American Universities and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
