My undergraduate degree is from UW Chemical Engineering. Can I stay on as a grad student?
A. Like other top chemical engineering departments, we think our undergraduates should pursue graduate studies in a new environment. In cases of “special circumstances” we will (reluctantly) consider a UW B.S. ChemE for direct admission to our M.S. program. Also, students who have obtained a graduate (e.g., M.S.) degree elsewhere, or have substantial industrial experience can be considered for the Ph.D. All others must look elsewhere. Feel free to ask a faculty member for suggestions on other programs you should consider.
