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

Regular Status

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

1. A Bachelor's degree or a Master's degree in engineering or a related field.

2. Completion of the equivalent of a Master's degree program in the major field.

3. Evidence of ability and resolution to complete a doctoral 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 Language (TOEFL) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) in analytical, quantitative, and verbal aptitude.

Admission to the doctoral program without a master's degree, or the equivalent thereof, will require special consideration by the Department and the Dean.

Provisional Status

Admission to a doctoral program with provisional status may be granted by the department, subject to approval of the Dean.

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.
