The Ph.D. program focuses on innovative academic research across diverse chemical engineering disciplines. During their studies, candidates develop research projects that lead to a written dissertation and culminate in a faculty defense presentation. Numerous students collaborate across disciplines with chemical engineering professors through the University's premier research centers. Admission to the Ph.D. program requires maintaining at least a B- in all graduate coursework and a minimum 3.3 GPA (on a 4.0 scale). While an M.S. degree isn't mandatory, exceptional undergraduates holding a B.S. in chemical engineering may apply directly to the Ph.D. track.
The doctoral program prioritizes groundbreaking scholarly investigation spanning multiple chemical engineering fields. As students progress through their studies, they undertake research projects that result in a comprehensive written thesis and conclude with an oral examination before faculty members. Many participants engage in cross-disciplinary studies with chemical engineering professors affiliated with the University's distinguished research institutes.
