Overview Industry-Based Doctoral Programs

    Individuals holding an M.S. degree or equivalent experience and currently working in chemical research or related areas may wish to explore the possibility of an Industry-Based Doctoral Program. The candidate may arrange to have a major percentage of his or her job assignment devoted to a project that can serve as dissertation research, based on a prearranged agreement with an immediate supervisor and collaboration with a member of Wesleyan's doctoral faculty, who serves as a mentor. Dissertation research may then proceed in the industrial lab setting.

    For specific information on this aspect of the graduate program, an appointment should be made with the graduate committee of the department.
