General requirements

Students should be a graduate of an accredited program in chemical engineering.
Graduates with other accredited engineering, mathematics, or physical science majors may be admitted, though alternative program schedules may be required as students will be required to demonstrate graduate level competency in the core chemical engineering disciplines of thermodynamics, reaction and reactor kinetics, and transport.
Students with a 3.00 grade-point average or above (on a 4.00 scale) and with appropriate course backgrounds will be considered for admission.
Scores from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) are not required for admission; if you already have the GRE scores and wish to provide it, then you can include the scores in your application.
