Physical Chemistry focuses on studying atomic and molecular structures and behaviors, especially creating mathematical models for phenomena at the microscopic scale. Physical chemists explore topics like electron distribution in chemical bonds, molecular rotation speeds, equilibrium states in chemical mixtures, and the 3D configurations of enzymes. A key strength of this field is its universal methodology, applicable across diverse chemical contexts. At Michigan State University, researchers in physical chemistry—including faculty, postdocs, and graduate students—tackle challenges spanning from isolated atoms and small molecules to biologically important macromolecules like proteins and DNA, as well as multiphase systems.

Students holding bachelor's degrees, or master's degrees or the equivalent, may be admitted for study at the doctoral level on either a provisional or regular basis. Applicants are expected to have had in their undergraduate programs one year each of general, analytical, organic, and physical chemistry, one year of physics, and one year of calculus or their equivalents. Deficiencies in the undergraduate program must be removed. Admission to the doctoral program is dependent on having a 3.00 or better gradepoint average and upon satisfactory performance on the qualification examinations given in the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry.
