- This document covers ten basic information regarding admission in Chemical Engineering graduate programs.
- Listed below are 149 universities in 47 states who offer graduate programs in ChE.
- Although I tried my best to make this document perfect, there may be some errors due to handling of so many data. So, I apologize
beforehand for any inaccuracy.
- This document aims to give you a general idea before choosing a university. All data here was collected in between January – March
2015. So don’t rely exclusively on this document. I appreciate you to check the website of your preferred university to get the most
up-to-date information.
- Most of the universities do not specify minimum required GRE score. Rather they mention recommended score for applicants. So it’s
always better to check this recommended score before applying. The same thing applies to some universities regarding IELTS/TOEFL
score. The “average GRE quant score” mentioned here is the average Quantitative Section score of the students enrolled up to now.
- Some universities may offer you conditional admission if you do not meet the minimum required CGPA or cut off score in
IELTS/TOEFL. So, never be hopeless. Contact Graduate Coordinator regarding your issue.
- The “Deadline” mentioned here is a fall semester deadline. It is likely that some universities have different deadlines for M.S and
Ph.D programs. Also there are priority deadlines for getting financial assistance. So, you should understand all these things well
before applying.
