How to Apply for Admission to the PMP
Applicants to the Chemical Engineering Professional M.S. Program must complete the Purdue University Graduate School's online application to be considered for admission. Applications are reviewed and admittance is offered on a rolling basis, though we encourage prospective students to apply early as possible.
Starting Fall 2024, the Pharmaceutical Engineering concentration of the Professional M.S. will also be available at the Indianapolis campus. The Graduate School application will offer the option to select site if the Pharmaceutical Engineering concentration is selected. The applicant will be required to select Indianapolis or West Lafayette location.
