Regular Status

The following summarizes the combined Departmental and College requirements for admission to the master's program in Chemical Engineering.

Admission to the master's program with regular status may be granted by the department, subject to the availability of resources and approval of the Dean, upon consideration of the likelihood that the applicant will be able to pursue a graduate program successfully without need of collateral work. The following will be considered in evaluating eligibility for admission:

1. A Bachelor's degree in an accredited program in chemical engineering with high academic achievement.

2. A Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field where the applicant has shown a very high academic achievement, as certified by the department.

3. Evidence of ability and resolution to complete a master's program, as attested by the department upon review of the applicant's academic record, test scores, experience, reference statements, professional qualifications, proposed studies and other relevant information.

4. Foreign applicants must provide scores on Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and analytical, quantitative, and verbal scores from Graduate Record Examinations (GRE).

Provisional Status

A provisional admission to the Master's degree program may be granted, subject to approval of the Dean. Candidates with a B.S. in a degree other than Chemical Engineering are usually granted provisional admission.

1. To an applicant, otherwise qualified for regular admission except that collateral work as part of the degree program is deemed necessary.

2. To an applicant whose record has not yet been evaluated.

If collateral work is required, the acceptable grade and semester by which collateral requirements must be met will be specified on the admission form. The provisional status will be changed to regular status when the conditions specified on the admission form have been met, as certified by the department and approved by the dean.
