The Department invites applications from students with degrees in Chemical Engineering (or a closely related field) and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (on a 0-4 scale) or higher.
Students are admitted into the program primarily during the Fall Semester. The application deadline for Fall admission is January 15 of each year. Applications received after the deadline automatically are considered for the next year.
Consideration of applications for admission and financial aid begins shortly after the January 15 deadline and students awarded admission will be notified by the end of February. Typically, we admit 8-12 students each year.
Applicants must submit the following:
- Admission Application
- Graduate Assistantship Application
- Certificate of Financial Responsibility (self-supported international students only)
- Application Fee
- Three Letters of Recommendation
- Statement of Purpose
- Official Transcripts (of all previous academic work)
- GRE Scores (international students only)

| International Students |
| International students that do not possess a degree from a US school are expected to submit GRE and TOEFL test scores. The minimum TOEFL score is 550 (213 for computer-based or 80 for Internet-based tests).
The most competitive applicants for financial aid obtain a combined GRE score in excess of 1200. However, the applicant's performance in past undergraduate and graduate coursework is given greater weight.
International students that do not receive financial aid are required to submit a Certificate of Financial Responsibility.

| Financial Aid |
| The department offers several forms of financial aid to all students.
Entering graduate students are usually awarded Graduate Teaching Assistantships. After the first year, students typically switch over to a Graduate Research Assistantship. The Department also nominates students for scholarships both internal and external to the University.
Currently, all graduate students in the program receive financial support.
