ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. — Chemistry majors at St. Bonaventure University now have a third opportunity for automatic acceptance into a doctoral chemistry program upon graduation from SBU.

An articulation agreement between St. Bonaventure and North Dakota State University (NDSU) grants students who earn a bachelor’s in chemistry from St. Bonaventure automatic acceptance in the doctoral chemistry program at NDSU, provided they have an overall GPA of 3.2 and a letter of support from the SBU Chemistry Department chair.

St. Bonaventure has similar automatic acceptance agreements with doctoral chemistry programs at University at Buffalo and University of Rhode Island.

Students in North Dakota State’s doctoral chemistry program receive free tuition, health and other benefits, and a stipend of approximately $24,000, with the potential to garner additional stipends based on academic performance.
