The Department of Chemical Engineering can grant provisional admission to motivated students whose undergraduate degrees are from other science, math or engineering disciplines. These students can often be an asset in our interdisciplinary research. However, chemical engineering graduate courses require significant knowledge of undergraduate chemical engineering material. Therefore, prior to entering the graduate program students from other majors are required to complete undergraduate coursework or online bridge programs. The department does not provide any financial assistance for undergraduate courses or bridge programs. The exact courses required are determined on a case by case basis. A typical example is given below. Prerequisites for graduate work undergraduate course should include general science and math courses including chemistry, physics, biology, computer science are assumed.
