Financial support for graduate students in the Department of Chemical Engineering is available from two primary sources. These include research assistantships and teaching assistantships. It is departmental policy that supported students in the doctoral program are paid a stipend consistent with that of a research or teaching assistant until they pass the qualifying examination. Following passage of the qualifying examination, the doctoral student receives a stipend consistent with that of a research or teaching associate.

Admissions Information

General Information

The Department of Chemical Engineering has two application periods each year, one for entrance into the fall semester and the other for entrance into the spring semester.  Please note, however, that available admissions spaces for the spring semester are much more limited than for the fall semester, as they are based solely upon faculty needs.  Moreover, students seeking financial support are encouraged to apply directly to the Ph.D. program, as the department emphasizes the doctoral degree.
