Department/School Head:

John W. Sutherland

Admission Requirements:

The general requirements for admission to the graduate program are: (i) satisfactory completion of a baccalaureate degree at a college or university of recognized standing, and (ii) an undergraduate cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale (or equivalent).  For international applicants that are non-native English speakers, there is an additional requirement of documented English language proficiency as stated below.  Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the EEE degree program and the diversity of curricular topics and the associated research conducted by the faculty, no specific undergraduate preparation is stipulated.  However, basic deficiencies in math or science may be grounds for denial of admission or grounds for required completion of remedial coursework during the first year of study.

Students are referred to the EEE webpage (see above) where all information regarding requirements for admission to the EEE graduate program is posted.  It is important that each applicant realize that the requirements for admission stated above are the minimum requirements, and failure to satisfy the minimum requirements may lead to automatic denial of admission.  Further, because of capacity issues, fulfilling these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission to the program.  Admission is a competitive process based on (i) the student’s previous record, as documented in the application materials, and (ii) interests as they relate to faculty research, teaching, and outreach interests.  

Required documents for admission include: (i) an online application submitted through the Graduate School www.purdue.edu/gradschool, (ii) uploaded copies of all transcripts (initially, copies are sufficient), (iii) a Statement of Purpose, (iv) resume, (v) recommendation letters, and (vi) for non-native English speaking applicants, English proficiency test scores (TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE).  The Statement of Purpose is an essay of approximately 300-500 words stating clearly and succinctly the reasons for seeking graduate study in Environmental and Ecological Engineering at Purdue University, the applicant’s career goals, and research interests.

 

Additional International Applicant Requirements:

  • TOEFL for Non-Native English Speakers: For unconditional admission consideration, applicants must meet one of the following requirements:
  • Minimum Paper-Based Test (PBT) Score Required: 575
  • Minimum Internet-Based Test (IBT) Overall Score Required: 90, with the following minimum section scores required:  Reading: 19, Listening: 14, Speaking: 18, Writing: 18
  • IELTS (Academic Module):  An alternative to the TOEFL, scores of 6.5 or higher will be accepted
  • Pearson Test of English (PTE) (Academic Module):  An alternative to the TOEFL, scores of 60 or higher will be accepted
  • TWE for Non-Native English Speakers: Not required, but recommended.
     

Academic Programs:

  • Master’s and Ph.D. Programs
  • Combined degree program:
    • B.S. in various undergraduate programs / M.S.E.E.E.
