Graduate Admissions

Overview

We are glad that you are considering doing your graduate studies in chemical engineering at Texas Tech University. For a full view of our faculty activities, click here to go to our website research link. Before continuing the application process, please examine the Graduate Student Profile to compare your profile to those of our currently enrolled graduate students.

Our reviewing process for Fall admissions normally begins in January and because of our nationally recognized programs, there are many applicants for a limited number of opportunities. To be sure to be reviewed for Fall admissions, it is highly recommended that your completed material (official transcripts, standard test scores) be in by the end of December. Only a limited number of positions are available in the Spring and that reviewing process is done in October.

Graduate Program Application Process

Texas Tech's School Code for the TOEFL is 6827.

How to Apply:

• Apply as a new, first-time applicant online here. 
• Pay your application fee: $75 initial application fee* or $25 for each subsequent application (including changes of entry date, add/change program requests, or readmission requests). Application fees for new, first-time applications may be paid at the time of application submission. 
• Visit the Graduate Programs Directory to see the application requirements for the chemical engineering program. Note that in addition to the requirements of Texas Tech University Graduate School, the application for chemical engineering doctoral program has the following requirements: three letters of reference, resume/CV and personal statement.
• All documents must be in PDF form. DO NOT submit your documents via regular airmail or express mail delivery, as this will significantly delay the processing of your application.
• Check your status online via your application portal.

Best wishes. We look forward to hearing from you.
