Undergraduate GPA: Minimum B average, typically ≥ 3.0 out of 4.0, preferably in science or engineering.
Bachelor’s Background: Preferably Chemical Engineering (ABET‑equivalent). Strongly considered: Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Polymer Science, or other engineering degrees. Applicants without a ChE degree are placed in the Scientist-to‑Engineer (S2E) track: two extra undergrad‑level courses (Essentials A & B) + one design course in the first semester.
