Who is Eligible for Admission?
Anyone with a B.S. or B.A. undergraduate degree in any field with a minimum 3.0 GPA is welcome to apply. However, a good grasp of basic knowledge in general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry is needed to succeed in completing the curriculum.
Recommended Courses
Students who complete these courses (or equivalent) will be well-positioned to start the program immediately:
- One year of general chemistry with lab
- One semester of either organic chemistry, biochemistry or molecular biology with accompanying lab
- One semester of college-level basic statistics course
Intensive Chemistry Prep
We offer a free, 10-week intensive summer chemistry preparatory course at Georgetown for enrolled students who haven’t taken the recommended chemistry courses during their undergraduate studies. The preparatory course, which starts on Monday of the first week in June and ends on Friday of the second week in August, consists of two five-week sessions, with the first session focusing on general chemistry and the second on organic and biochemistry.
In case an enrolled student cannot attend the required preparatory course, they should follow the recommended five-semester program schedule, during which they can take the preparatory chemistry course in the summer after the second semester in the program. Please contact us at emap@georgetown.edu for details.
Tuition & Aid
Graduate student tuition and charge fees are based on the number of credit hours for which a student is enrolled. The EMAP program requires a total of 35 credit hours. Students fund their education through various avenues, including but not limited to external scholarships, fellowships, employer-tuition benefits, and federal student aid. The program offers merit-based tuition scholarships for academically qualified students in the first academic year. Qualification will be assessed when your completed application is reviewed for admission.
