Graduate Students
Graduate Director's Note to Prospective Students
Thank
you for your interest in the Department of Chemical Engineering. I hope
that you consider the possibility of continuing your education at the
graduate level here at the University of South Carolina. Please visit
our Department's web site at www.che.sc.edu for a complete introduction
to our program. You may want to look at the following pages in
particular:
As
you will see, there is an explosion taking place in Chemical
Engineering at the University of South Carolina. The Department of
Chemical Engineering at USC has state-of-the-art facilities, a dynamic
faculty and vigorous research programs. In fact, for the past four
years, the Department has ranked among the top twenty in the U.S. in
terms of federal research funding. We continue to add outstanding new
faculty to strengthen existing research efforts and develop new ones.
Additional incentives for our Ph.D. candidates are the wide selection
of research topics, the out-of-state tuition waiver, and the very high
twelve-month stipends. I am confident in saying that only very few
select programs in the United States can match what we can offer to our
graduate students.
After you examine our web
pages, feel free to call me toll free at 800.763.0527 [from within the
U.S.] to discuss any question you may have. You may also send me
questions via e-mail at chegrad@engr.sc.edu.
If you wish to apply for admission, we prefer that you do so over the
Internet. Just click to go to gradschool.sc.edu and click on "Application." The
website provides full instructions as well as all forms.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Sincerely,
Dr.
James
A. Ritter
Professor and Graduate Director.
