Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical Engineering

OSU's Doctorate of Philosophy in Chemical engineering is a discipline focused on conceiving and designing processes to produce, transform and transport materials-beginning with experimentation in the laboratory followed by implementation of the technology. At OSU, we develop human resources, professional knowledge, and the infrastructure through which chemical engineering can contribute to human welfare. We expect to maintain national recognition for our contributions. Traditional careers are in the chemical, energy and oil industries, with increasing opportunities in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.CurriculumA PhD student may enter the program in two ways, either (1) with a BS degree to pursue a PhD degree without obtaining an MS degree, or (2) with a MS degree. Depending on how you enter the program will determine what your course requirements are.

Admission to either the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degree program requires graduation from a chemical engineering curriculum approved by the ABET or a recognized equivalent from any international programStudents with undergraduate degrees in other engineering disciplines or closely related fields such as chemistry physics mathematics or biological sciences are evaluated on an individual basis and a specific plan of study is developed for each student This plan may include an additional 10 -15 semester credit hours of undergraduate courses in Chemical Engineering Admission is competitive based on undergraduate GPA GRE and TOEFL for international students statement of background and goals research experience and interests and recommendationsTOEFL 79 internet-based 550 paper-based.IELTS 6.5
