Admission Requirements
The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering has the following minimum requirements for admission to the graduate program:
- 3.0 GPA in undergraduate program (based on A=4.0)
- GRE Scores (148 verbal, 144 quantitative)
- TOEFL (paper exam. - 550, computerized exam. - 213) - required for non-native speakers of English

Pre-Application Process
We encourage interested graduate applicants to complete a pre-application. This process is designed to save applicants time and money. The pre-application form takes much less time to fill out than a full application, and it is free. The data you submit on the pre-application is available to Department faculty and is reviewed when openings exist. If your pre-application gets the attention of a faculty member, you will be contacted by that faculty member.
Your pre-application data is retained for six months, and you can re-submit the information after six months.
