Admissions
The Cockrell School of Engineering, the university’s Graduate School and the department collaborate to administer chemical engineering graduate applications. The department’s Graduate Studies Committee reviews applications, considering all information supplied, to determine admission decisions.
Requirements
Students with a bachelor of science in chemical engineering degree from a school accredited by the American Institute of Chemical Engineering Council for Professional Development usually fulfill requirements for consideration for admission.
Other students, including those with a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, physics, engineering, engineering science, orgeology (geochemistry), must have a background the department considers satisfactory for the study of advanced chemical engineering.
There are no set minimum requirements as candidates are considered on their full application. However, students closer to the provided guidelines are more competitive. Students seeking a terminal master’s degree are seldom admitted, and when they are admitted, it is without financial aid.
Transfer Students
The department does not accept transfer graduate students. All interested students must apply following the same application process as an incoming student.
