Graduate Tuition and Fees, Out-of-State Students ?
State-funded universities often charge lower rates for students who are considered residents of the state. If you are from out of state, it may take some time to become a resident. Check with the institution about residency requirements.
Full-time students: Tuition ?	$19,702
Many students do not pay full tuition. See the information on tuition remission.
Full-time students: Fees ?	$1,656
The fixed sum charged to students for items not covered by tuition and required of such a large proportion of all students that the student who does NOT pay the charge is an exception
Part-time students: Cost per credit hour	$889

Reputation (NRC, 1995) ?
In 1993, the National Research Council asked faculty members to rate the educational effectiveness of doctoral programs at other universities on a scale of 0 ("Not Effective") to 5 ("Extremely Effective"). (Note that the resulting effectiveness ratings were found to be almost perfectly correlated (r=0.99) with ratings of "faculty quality," which suggests that the ratings may simply reflect the overall reputation of a program rather than any specific educational achievements.)
	Chemistry
Perceived educational effectiveness	Reasonably effective
Perceived effectiveness on a scale of 0–5	3.4
(0 = "Not effective", 5 = "Extremely effective")
