Chemical Engineering

Requirements for Admission

Students should fulfill Drexel University's general requirements for admission to graduate studies. The subjects normally included in an undergraduate program in chemical engineering provide a satisfactory background. Decisions regarding prerequisite qualifications for students who may be deficient in some areas are made after consultation with the departmental graduate advisor.

The core courses are designed for students with undergraduate training in chemical engineering. However, students with a background in biological sciences and engineering can also enroll in the core courses after completing the necessary basic engineering courses. Programs for such students are determined on an individual basis after consultation with the departmental graduate advisor.

Graduate study in chemical engineering is offered on a regular full-time basis and on a part-time basis. Details not covered in the following information may be obtained by contacting the departmental graduate advisor. The General (Aptitude) Test of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required for applicants pursuing full-time study.

Financial Assistance

Financial aid in the form of teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and fellowship grants is available to qualified full-time students. Awards are made annually on a competitive basis.
