Graduate Admissions
The Department of Chemical Engineering accepts applications to our graduate programs once per year for Autumn quarter entry only.
The application deadline for Autumn 2027 entry is December 1, 2026, at 11:59pm (PST). All applications completed and received by this date will receive full consideration. No late applications will be accepted.
All components of a graduate application must be received by the department no later than the appropriate deadline - including letters of recommendation. Once submitted, applications are considered final, and no further updates are accepted. Application review begins immediately so on-time submission of all materials is critical.
A complete application consists of a completed application form, a statement of purpose (a summary of research experience for PhD applications), the application fee, three letters of recommendation, and TOEFL examination results (scores and percentages) if applicable.
