As I mentioned in the last Director’s Update, we are releasing a series of short videos that answer common questions about our program. Today’s video explains the three major components of the M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering Leadership program. Through the curriculum, industry workshops, and a capstone project, students will learn how to fully apply classwork to their career. I hope you will find the video helpful. If you have any questions, please reach out to our program staff. 

Quick facts about the M.Eng. in Chemical Engineering Leadership program

August 29, 2024

A few months ago, we held an informational webinar for people interested in our M.Eng. program, where we discussed the program highlights and addressed frequently asked questions. In coming weeks, we will be sharing clips from that webinar so the information is easily available to potential students who want to learn more about the logistical elements of the M.Eng. As is explained in this first video, our program is designed to be flexible and fit into anyone’s career plans: 

I hope you find this video helpful. We will be sharing more short, informational clips in coming weeks. In the meantime, we are here to answer any questions you have about the application process.

Fall 2024 Application Reviews and Offers

March 12, 2024

We are in the process of reviewing applications for Fall 2024 admission. I am pleased to announce that the admission committee has evaluated the applications submitted before the priority deadline in two rounds, and the first batch of offers have been made to the top candidates who have completed their applications. The committee will continue to evaluate applications on a rolling basis.

Applicants should keep an eye on their email for notifications about incomplete applications and upload any required materials as soon as possible. This is particularly important for international students, as the processing time for those applications is longer.

As a reminder, our standard application deadline is May 1 for international applicants and June 1 for domestic applicants. Please submit and complete your applications early, so you will have as much time as possible to prepare the necessary paperwork for your fall admission.

For those who would like to learn more about our program before submitting their application, we will have a virtual informational webinar on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 at 8:00pm (US Central Time). Registration is open now and everyone is welcome to attend.
