Admission Guidelines (modified for students entering the program after September 2015):
This is a research-oriented degree intended primarily for full-time students. Although courses may be taken on a part-time basis, a minimum of one year of full-time residency is typically required for completion of the doctoral dissertation. Specific requirements are listed below:
1. A masters’ degree in chemical engineering and a GPA of at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent.
2. A BS in chemical engineering with a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, or equivalent.
3. Applicants with a BS in Chemistry or a BS in an engineering discipline with an outstanding academic record will be considered. Completion of a Bridge Program might be required in order to ensure success in the PhD program.
4. Both GRE and TOEFL. Minimum GRE quantitative score is 158.
5. Admission of full-time doctoral students is on a competitive basis as the department admits only as many students as it can support through departmental and research-based funds.
