At Michigan, we provide diverse research opportunities that leverage both foundational chemical engineering concepts and cutting-edge science to address critical contemporary challenges. Our work includes creating microfluidic technologies to enhance healthcare and deliver sustainable energy solutions to underserved areas. We're advancing knowledge of cellular transport and reaction mechanisms to enable more effective pharmaceuticals and delivery systems. Through innovative experimental techniques and high-performance computing, we're studying nanoparticles, macromolecules, complex fluids, and reactive surfaces - insights that guide the development of advanced catalysts, polymers, electrodes, and other functional materials. Our projects span biofuel catalysts, fuel cell electrocatalysts, and conductive textiles. As a leading public institution, the University of Michigan boasts numerous top-tier programs, with frequent interdisciplinary collaborations that connect students with renowned researchers and faculty.
BS degree in chemical engineering (or equivalent).
Nearly all admitted graduate students have a minimum combined GRE verbal and quantitative score of 300, and a minimum of 3.5 GRE analytical writing score. We look at the applicant’s highest GRE score, not the most recent.
A score of 250 on the computer-based version (CBT), 100 on the iBT, or 7.0 on the IELTS is required for international students except those with a degree from a university that teaches exclusively in English.
