Meeting the minimum GPA and test score requirements does not guarantee admission. Test scores and GPA are just two of several important factors considered.

Admission to graduate study in chemical engineering or gas engineering requires the completion of a program leading to a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering or another engineering discipline from an accredited institution. Students with degrees in related fields must remove deficiencies or must show proof of proficiency in the required undergraduate material before entering the graduate program. Students with a B.S. degree in science are required to take up to four engineering deficiency courses.

Admission to graduate degree programs in food process engineering normally requires a bachelor's degree in chemistry; biology; food science; chemical, agricultural, food or environmental engineering; or a related field. Depending on the student s background, additional deficiency courses, some of which may not count toward the degree, may be required.
