High School Preparation Transfer Students
Engineering requires a strong background in mathematics and science.
You should have completed at least 3 1/2 years of college preparatory mathematics,
including trigonometry, and two years of basic science such as physics and chemistry.
If you lack some of this background, you may select courses at WMU to help you
succeed. Advanced placement courses are a plus.
During freshman orientation, the program advisor will review your high school
record and make recommendations for course placement.
Transfer credit from other colleges and universities will be
granted for courses that satisfy WMU's requirements. The Admissions Office makes
the final determination of acceptance of transfer credits. For community colleges
within Michigan, the Admissions Office maintains a website which lists
course equilvalencies. For courses at other institutions, please contact
the Admissions Office or the Chemical Engineering program advisor.
Many students receive some form of financial aid. Through a competitive
process, WMU offers several incoming freshman Medallion Scholarships which can
cover the full cost of an education at WMU.

The PCI department has limited scholarship support for chemical engineering students. These three scholarship programs are:
Armstrong Energy Management Scholarships
These scholarships are for students pursuing the Energy Management option within
chemical engineering. The awards are typically given to juniors and seniors
and are awarded on an annual basis. Award amounts are in $3000–4000/year
range. . Complete the application
form and send to the PCI Department.
Paper Technology Foundation Scholarships
These scholarships are available to chemical engineers pursuing a Pulp
and Paper Engineering or Science minor. Scholarships are available
only during semesters in which the student is taking at least 3 credits of PAPR prefixed classes.
Award amounts are determined by the Paper Technology Foundation, but are typically
100% of the full
Paper Engineering scholarship amount. Application must be made to the
Paper Technology Foundation...
Chemical Engineering Endowed Scholarship
This will be a nominal award (about $500). All chemical engineering students
in good standing are eligible to apply, but only one or two awards will be given.
