Yes, we encourage prospective students with a wide range of UG degrees to apply to our program. The admissions committee prefers that applicants have some engineering background. Our core courses are fluids, reaction engineering, heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics and math courses up to ordinary differential equations.  Applicants that deficient in these areas will be required to complete leveling courses during their graduate career.  These will be determined during application review.

For Fall or Spring, you may, with permission, arrive and be in class up to one week late.  If you will not be able to be in class by that date, you must defer your enrollment.  For Summer, you must be there for the first day of class.  Otherwise, you must defer your enrollment.
