A WES evaluation is recommended for international transcripts, however, you may simply submit your transcript/degree certificate if the degree earned is equivalent to a US degree (e.g., 4-year Bachelor).
http://www.wes.org/
For undergraduate degrees, a WES evaluation is generally not required if all of the following are true:
Your degree title is or translates to “Bachelor”
Your degree was completed as part of a 4-year course
Your degree was earned from an institution accredited by the official regional accreditation board for your country or region
For graduate degrees, a WES evaluation is generally not required if all of the following are true:
Your degree title is or translates to a degree title recognized in the US (e.g., “Master”, “Doctor”, etc.)
Your degree was earned from an institution accredited by the official regional accreditation board for your country or region
Regardless of whether a WES evaluation is needed, all documents must be provided with an official English translation when the original document is in another language. Such translations are typically provided by the issuing institution; however, you may also obtain a translation using any of the following methods.
Any of the accredited agencies listed at http://www.atanet.org/
Any of the accredited agencies listed at http://naces.org/
Translations from SBU faculty members
Please note, the Graduate School reserves the right to request a WES evaluation later in the admissions process if we are not satisfied with the information in the submitted documents upon their review. A subsequent request for a WES evaluation will delay the processing of your matriculation, as your application package will not be finalized until it is received & reviewed.
For application status and submission questions, please email: gradadmissions@stonybrook.edu
For program or curriculum related questions, please email: ESMandCME_GradAdmissions@stonybrook.edu
It is recommended if you have confirmation that your transcripts and other documents are received by Graduate School, please inform us (the department) via email at ESMandCME_GradAdmissions@stonybrook.edu so we can follow up to expedite your matriculation process.
The Graduate School application fee is $100* and is non-refundable. It is required for applicants from all countries.
Fall applications are reviewed in February. If your application file is missing anything, you will receive an e-mail from the department. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we can’t respond to e-mails checking on status until AFTER April 10th.
Offer letters will begin to be mailed out from the end of February. We ask that you do not send us numerous e-mails checking on the status of your application or telephone us regarding application status.
If you do NOT receive a letter of offer from us by April 10th, you should then contact us if you have any questions.
Financial Support
Admitted Ph.D. students are typically offered financial support in the form of teaching or research assistantships, which include full tuition and broad- based fees. Admission into this program is very competitive.
M.S. students are typically admitted with no financial support; however, full time MS students in the thesis track may be appointed as Research Project Assistants with an opportunity to enter the PhD program at the discretion of a faculty member upon availability of funds. Information regarding tuition and other costs can be found here.
Transfer of credits into M.S. or Ph.D. programs
Students may transfer up to 9 credits of graduate courses obtained from another US accredited university. The following conditions and procedure are required to transfer any credits.
In order to be counted towards graduation, the credits must be evaluated by Chemical Engineering Program committee and faculty. The evaluation must establish equivalence between a course being transferred from another institution and a CME course in Stony Brook, which is accepted as part of the graduation requirements. The GPD typically evaluates the course materials/contents, student transcripts, etc. The approval is not automatic and we generally take a very careful look at such transfer requests.
Graduate courses that do not meet the previous requirement can be transferred without being counted towards graduation. This can sometimes be useful because students who have earned 24 graduate credits of any kind need to be registered for only 9 credits in order to have full time status. Therefore, gaining this status early might reduce tuition liability.
M.S. to Ph.D
A student in the M.S. program from CME or any related field at Stony Brook can subsequently apply for admission into the Ph.D. program, only if the student can be supported by an advisor to complete the PhD program in CME at Stony Brook. The students will require to complete a change of level/program form to enter the PhD program as a G-4 student.
The CME Ph.D. program also recognizes M.S. degree from other accredited US institutions, student who have M.S. degree in CME will still require to complete courses totaling 24 credits. The student will be accepted as G4 level student and expected to complete all requirements towards the Ph.D. degree.

If any of the above courses are not offered, students can replace/substitute a course with any other course offered in the program and/or in the department with GPD approval.
In addition to these courses the different programs have the following requirements;
Masters (MS) Degree requires another six credits for a total of 30 credits. Each track has different
requirements for these six credits as follows;
Track:
Non-Thesis :
The election of this option must be made by the student by the end of the first semester in the program and it will be considered a terminal degree.Six credit of special topics (CME 696), additional electives or research (CME 599) , and satisfactory completion of a capstone project as part of the specialization elective course selection
Thesis:
The election of this option must be made by the student by the end of the first semester in the program. Students may not transfer to the Non-Thesis Option once registered for a Thesis Master’s track. Students are required to complete six credits of research course (CME 599), which culminate in an original Master’s thesis. Students on this track may changeinto the PhD program at the completion of this track.
Requirements for the Ph.D. Degree in Chemical and Molecular Engineering
A. Plan of Work
Before completion of one year of full-time residency, the student must have selected a research advisor who agrees to serve in that capacity. The student will then prepare a plan of further coursework. This must receive the approval of the student’s advisor and of the Graduate Program Committee.
B. Coursework
C. Preliminary Examination
The preliminary examination must be taken before the beginning of the student’s fifth semester. This is an oral examination designed to test the student’s ability to utilize his or her chemical engineering background to carry out research in a chosen field of study, and to make clear written and oral presentations of research. At least ten days prior to the examination, the candidate should submit a research proposal (10-15 pages) to the examiners that places the research in context of other work in the area, demonstrates original thought , clearly outlines its broader impact, and provides a sustainable timeline for its completion.
The examination committee will consist of three Chemical and Molecular Engineering faculty members, and one member from another department or institution. If a second examination is required, it must be completed by the tenth week of the fifth semester.
Once the student has advanced to candidacy, the student must report to the committee at least once a year before the end of the spring semester on progress towards his/her dissertation.
D. Advancement to Candidacy
After the prelims, the department processes the Advancement to Candidacy once the student’s preliminary examination committee has signed to confirm that the student has passed the prelims. It is important to note, that a student must have no “I” or “U” grades for courses that count towards the degree to advance to candidacy. He/she must have completed all coursework requirements to advance to candidacy.
E. Dissertation
The most important requirement of the Ph.D. degree is the completion of a dissertation, which must be an original scholarly investigation. The dissertation shall represent a significant contribution to the scientific literature, and its quality shall be compatible with the publication standards of appropriate and reputable scholarly journals. At least two semesters should elapse between the preliminary exam and submission of the dissertation.
F. Defense
The candidate shall defend the dissertation before an examining committee consisting of four members, including the research advisor, two members of the Materials Science and Chemical Engineering Department, and one member from outside the Department.
G. Time Limit
All requirements for the Ph.D. degree must be completed within seven years after completing 24 credit hours of graduate courses in the program.
Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree/Master of Science Degree Accelerated Program
The Accelerated BE/MS program is designed to allow Chemical and Molecular Engineering (CME) students in good academic standing to graduate with both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in five years. This is made possible by allowing the students to take up to 6 credits of graduate courses to substitute for 6 credits of undergraduate specialization courses as an undergraduate student that can be counted towards the MS degree, consistent with the Graduate School policy. However, the undergraduates can only take graduate technical electives (not core courses), totaling 6 credits and completing the remaining 24 credits to fulfill the 30-credit requirement for completion of the M.S. degree in their fifth year.
The program will be highly selective, and it is anticipated that only a few students will be admitted each year. The admissions requirements for students entering the accelerated degree program are as follows:
Applications are reviewed by the CME Graduate Admissions Committee and students will be notified if they have been admitted to the Accelerated Program. The BE/MS is a sequential degree program; Students typically matriculate to the graduate career at the beginning of their third semester in the accelerated program. Students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher to be admitted to the Graduate School. The Master's in Chemical Engineering is a 30 credit program and 24 of those credits must be earned as a matriculated graduate student.
Students who transfer to Stony Brook must complete at least one semester at Stony Brook before they will be considered for admission to the five-year BS/MS program and decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis to ensure they meet all other requirements to qualify for the combined degree program.
