Graduate Catalog 1993-1994
College of Engineering
Department of Chemical Engineering
Requirements for Admission

   Students are selected from applicants who satisfy the following
general graduate admission requirements of the College of Engineering
(satisfaction of these minimum requirements in no way guarantees
admission):

   1. A baccalaureate degree in the field or in a closely allied
      field of science or mathematics.
   2. An undergraduate grade-point average in engineering, science,
      and mathematics courses of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
   3. A minimum of three letters of strong support from former
      teachers or supervisors.
   4. A minimum combined score of 1050 on the Graduate Record
      Examination Aptitude Test for applicants from chemical
      engineering programs not accredited by the American Institute
      of Chemical Engineers or Canadian Accreditation Board and for
      applicants from degree programs in a closely allied field of
      science or mathematics.
   5. A minimum score of 500 on the Test of English as a Foreign
      Language for students whose first language is not English and
      who have not received a degree from a college or university in
      which English is the sole language of instruction.

   For chemical engineering applicants the scholastic index of 3.0 in
the major field is computed from the previous undergraduate work and
from graduate work done in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and
engineering courses. Personal interviews with all candidates for
admission are recommended whenever possible. Also, in exceptional
circumstances, it may be possible to obtain a provisional admission if
one or more of the above criteria have not been satisfied.
   Undergraduate preparation consisting of a bachelor's program in
chemical engineering leads most directly into the graduate program.
However, students and practicing industrialists with a background in
chemistry will also profit from this graduate program since chemical
engineering provides for the application of their scientific skills to
solutions of technological problems in industry and society. Graduates
of other disciplines are also encouraged to apply; some remedial work
may be required and is discussed on an individual basis.
