Chemical and biomolecular engineering faculty work in all areas of chemical engineering, including chemical process systems, biochemicals, petrochemicals, renewable energy, and nanotechnology.
ذكذكتسئµ University is located in Beaumont, Texas, home to four refineries and many chemical plants. Beaumont is a short drive from Houston, a global hub of the chemical and oil and gas industries.
ذكذكتسئµ University's College of Engineering offers three Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering graduate degrees:
A non-thesis, 30-semester-hour program designed to suit the needs of the practicing engineer.
Preparing chemical engineers to advance research, development, and education that addresses national and global challenges.
We offer scholarships including in-state tuition to master's and doctoral graduate students with qualifying GRE scores and academic background.
The department supports doctoral students with assistantships (teaching and research) that provide a fee waiver. Assistantship support is awarded on a competitive basis based on funds available.
Most full-time MES and Ph.D. Chemical Engineering students receive research assistantships and tuition waivers.
Students that meet the standards of the College of Graduate Studies (Link) will be considered for admission to this program. The student application will be reviewed holistically, and a determination of admission will be made based on possibility of successful completion and available student positions. For details on the required and optional applications items, please see the admission requirements for each program

All prospective graduate students should submit all admissions materials at least 30 days prior to the start of the semester in which they wish to begin studies. Upon receipt of all university-required documents, the Admissions Office will forward your file to your desired academic department for an admission decision.
International students have additional deadlines that can be found here (/admissions/how-to-apply/international/index.html)
No. ذكذكتسئµ University does not offer application fee waivers
The Master of Engineering degree (ME) is a non-thesis master degree comprised of 30 semester-course hours to complete with a comprehensive exam as the final requirement. The ME degree takes approximately 18 months to complete. The Master of Engineering Science degree (MES) is a thesis master degree with directed research comprised of 24 semester-course hours and 6 research-course hours with a thesis and thesis defense as the final requirement. The MES degree takes approximately 18 to 24 months to complete. The PhD degree is a dissertation doctoral degree with directed research comprised of 36 semester-course hours, 4 seminar-course hours, and 30 research/dissertation-course hours with a dissertation and defenses as the final requirement. The PhD takes approximately 3.5 to 5 years to complete.
Upon formal request by the student, The University will evaluate graduate courses from other institutions and give credit for up to 6 hours of coursework that is equivalent to ذكذكتسئµ University courses.

Yes, you can apply to the PhD program with only a BS degree.
Only with express permission from the Department. Summer applicants will be deferred to the following Fall semester otherwise.
No, all admission decisions to the are made by the Department Graduate Admission Committee. Not individual research faculty.
MES and PhD students choose their advisor in the first semester. Students are encouraged to read the faculty websites and any other information related to research provided by the department. After doing so, the students should make an appointment with the faculty members they are interested in studying under to determine if this agreeable for both parties. If a student can not or does not find a research advisor by the beginning of their second semester, they will be required to switch to the ME degree program.
This is not necessary and is not the procedure used in the chemical engineering department. Advisors are determined after arrival.
The University offers a $1,000 competitive scholarship for all admitted graduate students. This scholarship allows for in-state tuition. This is based on the availability of funds. Any additional funding to students (MES or PhD) will be based on research activities and depends on the availability. As such, these funds are highly competitive. Additionally, these will be awarded by the faculty members directly and are highly competitive.
No, the General GRE Exam scores are optional. There is no cutoff scores and admission is based on the entire application.
