SPECIAL STUDENT STATUS

Students who hold an undergraduate degree outside of engineering normally have course deficiencies exceeding 12 semester credits. These students can be considered for special student status - undergraduate until such time that their deficiencies are reduced so that they can qualify for provisional admission. Persons with massive undergraduate deficiencies even though they might hold an undergraduate degree, should consider applying as transfer students to the undergraduate Chemical Engineering program.

Students who are not seeking a graduate degree at A&T are also classified as special students. They are admitted in order to take courses for self-improvement. If a student subsequently wishes to pursue a degree program, he/she must request an evaluation of his/her record. The Graduate School reserves the right to refuse to accept towards a degree program credits which the candidate earned while being enrolled as a special student; in no circumstances may the student apply towards a degree program more than twelve semester hours of graduate credits earned as a special student.

SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS WITHOUT A CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEGREE

Applicants with a non-chemical engineering undergraduate degree must have completed at least two semesters of calculus to be considered for admission to the MSChE program as a student. Students without a degree in chemical engineering will not be considered for financial aid until their undergraduate deficiencies fall below 12 credits. Upon admission these students will develop their MSChE curriculum with assistance from the MSChE Program Coordinator. The curriculum will be such as to include at least one semester of physical chemistry and organic chemistry, completion of the undergraduate with sequence (Calculus II and Differential Equations) and the attainment of satisfactory computer literacy. In addition they will be required to take CHEN 200 (Chemical Process Principles) and a minimum of five of the following seven undergraduate

Chemical Engineering Courses:

Dept.	No.	Course
CHEN	300	Transfer Operations I
CHEN	310	Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
CHEN	320	Transfer Operations II
CHEN	340	Process Dynamics and Control
CHEN	400	Mass Transfer Operations
CHEN	420	Chemical Reaction Engineering
CHEN	430	Process Design I

 A curriculum will be designed for each of these students according to their background and interests.
