Entry requirements

Admission is contingent upon recommendation by the graduate faculty of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. Admission opportunities are available for students with undergraduate degrees in fields other than chemical engineering (e.g., chemistry, biomedical engineering, and other related fields). See the Admission Criteria section of this catalog for more information. Graduate School information on the Application for Graduation. Acquisition of Financial Support: All students in good standing in the chemical engineering Ph.D. program within the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (ChBE) are normally supported by a graduate research assistantship (GRA) funded through their advisor, a graduate teaching assistantship (GTA) funded by the department, a fellowship, or a combination of various forms. Both types of assistantships provide an equivalent stipend and benefits along with paid tuition and fees. Financial support is typically guaranteed through the Ph.D

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.

Entry terms: Fall, Spring and Summer (the admissions page lists Spring, and Summer/Fall priority deadlines).
