Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 2.8 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
- Students wishing to enroll in one of the above distance education degree programs will be admitted through either the Department of Materials Science & Engineering or the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and must meet that department\'s entrance criteria.
- Admission requirements include: a B.S. degree in chemistry, physics, or any branch of engineering and an undergraduate GPA: 2.80 or higher.
Please note: On the admission application form, the area of specialization should be noted as Polymer Science and Engineering. Students will transfer into the Polymer Science and Engineering interdisciplinary master\'s degree program after enrollment in or completion of at least one polymer course. The Office of Distance Education will assist with transfer information and forms.
