A large number of industries depend on the synthesis and processing of chemicals and materials. In addition to traditional examples such as the chemical and energy industries, there are increasing opportunities in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronic device fabrication and materials, and environmental engineering. Chemical engineering is essential in these and other fields whenever processes involve the chemical or physical transformation of matter.

Scholarships
The Chemical Engineering Department is the first point of contact for the administration of:
- most external fellowships (NSF, NDSEG, DOD, DOE, NIH, Hughes, Bell/Lucent and various foundations)
- university fellowships (Stanford Graduate Fellowship)
- School of Engineering and departmental fellowships
- research and teaching assistantships
The university’s Financial Aid Office helps graduate students obtain loans.
We offer financial aid at the time of admission to approximately the top 5 to 10 percent of PhD applicants; virtually all first-year PhD students in this department receive aid. Once PhD students pass their preliminary qualifying examinations in the first year, normally they are supported either by fellowship awards or assistantship jobs from their research advisors.
The department is unable to offer financial aid to MS students.

How to Apply
Our Master of Science (MS) program is a terminal degree for those seeking advanced knowledge in a focused area of chemical engineering to pursue a career in industry or a professional degree, e.g. in medicine, law, education or business. It is based on the completion of lecture courses focused on a theme within the discipline of chemical engineering. No thesis is required, nor is research required. This program is open to three cohorts of applicants:
Active Stanford undergraduates, who should apply via the internal coterminal degree application process.
- Currently matriculated Stanford graduate students; see departmental students services.
- External applicants who have completed a bachelor’s degree or will have completed one before matriculating as a graduate student. Individuals in this third group apply online.
- The deadline for M.S. applications is Tuesday, March 15, 2016.
Applicants should upload any pertinent documents, such as transcripts, to ensure a complete online application. In addition, all applicants must provide two (or two sets of) original transcripts (academic records); they should be sent in their original, sealed envelopes, directly to the department. If ETS results (scores and percentages) are not reported on the application, copies of unofficial GRE and TOEFL score reports, and any other documents, such as resumes or publications not already uploaded, should be sent to the department.
