Admission to chemical engineering graduate programs is competitive. All applications must be submitted to the Graduate School of the University of South Carolina.
All graduate degrees in chemical engineering are open to students with backgrounds in chemical engineering or related fields. Each year, we accept a number of excellent graduate students with non-chemical engineering backgrounds, including material science, chemistry and biomedical engineering. All accepted Ph.D. students, including those with non-chemical engineering backgrounds, are expected to pass all graduate course requirements without taking remedial course work. As such, GPA requirements are more stringent for students without a background in chemical engineering. The M.E. degree in chemical engineering has been designed in a special course sequence for students with different backgrounds.

IELTS Academic - Minimum score of 6.5.
