elevatemelater Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Hello, I was considering pursuing my master's in chemical engineering and was considering applying to a few of the non-thesis master's or professional master's programs in the area. However, my undergraduate GPA is low, about 2.3. I have about 3 years professional experience and my company would be willing to fund my Master's. Also, my GRE scores are 620V 780Q 4.0A. I would just like to know if anyone has any insight or personal experience with returning for a Master's after working, and having a pretty dismal undergrad GPA.
ktel Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 You can get more specialized education, and your company wants to fund it, sounds like a win-win situation. Your GPA is low though, and I know some programs will have minimums. The good thing is that these degree programs are typically money-makers for the university, so their requirements are more relaxed. Your GRE scores are pretty good, which could make up for the lower marks.
gurakshun Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 What programs are available for a professional/non-research masters in chemical engineering? Is this common?
