How many students are admitted to the CHE graduate program each year?
20-30 students based on many factors including but not limited to faculty availability, quality of applicants, and funding.
We do not have a set number or percentage of domestic or international students that we admit.
Is the GRE required?
The GRE is not required and not considered during the admissions process. Our admissions process is a holistic review of a student’s academic and research experience and potential. Choosing not to submit GRE scores does not negatively affect applicants.
Can I apply if I don't have a master’s degree?
Yes! Most students entering our Ph.D. program do not have a master’s degree.
Is there a stipend package?
Yes! All current and admitted doctoral students in chemical engineering are offered a competitive stipend package. More information can be found on our Funding page.
Can you give me an application fee waiver?
The McKetta Department of Chemical Engineering does not provide application fee waivers. Domestic students can apply for application fee waivers provided by the Graduate School. International students are not eligible for application fee waivers.
