*INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS:

In order to allow time for the Visa process, you should make every effort to submit all application materials prior to our department deadlines.

We must receive all the above materials before we can evaluate your application, since each of these items is considered in the evaluation process. Please send only the materials itemized above.

Students with undergraduate degrees in closely-related fields such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, biological sciences or another engineering discipline are also invited to apply for admission to our graduate program. Such applications are evaluated on an individual basis, and specific plans of study are developed for each student. These study plans typically include an additional 10-15 semester credit hours of undergraduate courses in Chemical Engineering. Usually, we have several students with undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering, chemistry or physics in our graduate program, and they have had good success.

The application deadline for applying in the Fall semester is February 1 and the deadline for applying in the Spring semester is August 1. Applicants will be notified by email and in writing upon receipt of their application, and they will be informed of any missing items, which should be provided immediately. All fully-qualified students who are admitted to our program receive financial support; you need not complete any separate applications for support.
