Admission Requirements
The minimum requirement for admission into the
Graduate School is a bachelor’s
degree with at least a 3.0 grade point average
(on a 4.0 scale). Normally, students who are
admitted into the chemical engineering graduate
program exceed this requirement and are
expected to have a bachelor’s degree in
chemical engineering. A conversion program is
set up to accommodate individuals possessing
degrees in chemistry or other
scientific/engineering disciplines.
Applicants whose native language is not English
must submit TOEFL scores; a minimum score of
580 is required for admission to the graduate
program in chemical engineering.
Program Description
Faculty research is broadly focused in three
synergistic areas: Sustainable Energy Systems,
Bimolecular Engineering, and
Biomechanics. Within these areas,
projects are focused on:
- chemical and biological catalysis and
kinetics;
- chemical and biological fuel cells;
- biofilm engineering;
- novel sensor technologies;
- cardiac and reproductive molecular
engineering;
- and molecular, cellular, and musculskeletal
mechanics.
Specialized equipment includes a dynamic x-ray
diffractometer, a colloidal characterization
lab with field scattering capabilities, large
scale fermentors, GC, LC, LC/MS chromatographic
systems, and Atomic Force and other optical
microscopes.
The graduate programs are flexible, allowing
studentes to develop a program that fits
individual needs. A master of science is
typically completed in 12-15 months, and a
doctorate in 3-4 years after completion of the
bachelor of science degree. Many doctoral
students also participate in training programs,
such as the NIH-sponsored protein biotechnology
training program.
