Graduate Program: Nearby Industial Research Laboratories

 

New Jersey, Delaware, and adjoining portions of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York form the heart of industrial research for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the United States. Princeton's central location within this region facilitates interaction between its faculty and graduate students and industrial researchers with common interests. These interactions range from collaborative research projects, to the provision of unique samples, data, or facilities by the industrial labs, to the employment of Princeton graduates.
