International Students
International students who receive an offer of admission must participate, and pass, a Language Skills Assessment interview administered by the Center of Learning and Teaching. If the assessment shows that the applicant requires more formal training in English, a course in English as a Second Language (ESL) must be completed during the first semester of matriculation. English language skills deemed insufficient to carry out Teaching Assistant duties may result in termination of the student from the graduate program. More Information
International students who are offered a Teaching Assistantship must participate in the Chemistry and Chemical Biology's three-week Teaching Assistant Training Program (TATP). Proficiency in speaking English and understanding spoken English must be proven. Financial support is contingent upon the applicant's ability to teach recitation and laboratory sections to Cornell students.
