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
Considering the recent COVID-19 events currently impacting the world, the ChE Professional M.S. Program has waived the GRE requirement for application to the PMP for all Spring 2021 and Fall 2021 applicants. If you are able to take the GRE exam, and would like to submit your scores, you may do so. However, your application will not be impacted negatively if you do not submit GRE scores.
Waive your application fee!! Attend the free, virtual Big 10 Grad Expo on October 4-5, and get your application fee waived! Registration information can be found at https://www.purdue.edu/gradschool/gradexpo/.
