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.
Important Updates
The GRE score requirement has been waived for domestic applicants for Spring 2022 and Fall 2022. GRE scores are required for all international applicants from a non Chemical Engineering background (since we view mathematics and physical sciences background as very important components, the GRE can help us gain more information). This is for the Professional MS Program only.
