Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
Entry requirements
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering offers three graduate degree programs:
Master of Engineering (ME) \xc2\x96 primarily intended for practicing chemical engineers who desire advanced professional training and for those who desire to enter the workplace with a technical specialization beyond that of the bachelor\'s degree.
Applications for admission are evaluated by the graduate committee on the basis of criteria reflecting academic quality and probable success in advanced study. These criteria are:
- undergraduate and (where applicable) graduate grades
- GRE exam scores
- letters of recommendation
- a statement outlining past accomplishments, professional objectives, special interests, and educational plans
Superior grades and exam scores are, of course, important for admission. However, cases exist where students not having the highest grades were admitted partly on the basis of strong letters of recommendation clearly indicating superior ability and dedication in undergraduate research.
It is advantageous to request letters from individuals who have significant knowledge of your abilities-for instance, professors who have taught you in more than one course or with whom you have carried out an independent study project or research. You should give these individuals as much lead time as possible so that they will not be not rushed and will be able to write detailed and thoughtful letters about you.
English language requirements
- For TOEFL a minimum of 79 (iBT)/ 550 (PBT) is required.
- For IELTS the minimum is a 6.5 overall with no individual sub-score below 6.0.
- For PTE Academic a minimum overall score of 55 is required.
- For CAE and CPE a minimum overall score if 185 is required.
