Master of Science (M.S.)
The Master of Science requires a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of approved courses and research.
Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)
The Master of Engineering degree requires a minimum of 30 semester credit hours of approved courses and requires no research credit hours.

Graduate Admissions – The admission process is coordinated by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. Visit this page for more information on admissions and application requirements.
The M.S. is a 32-hour thesis degree. The M.Eng. requires 30 hours and is a non-thesis degree.
When can I apply for admissions and what information do I need to provide?
Admission info including how to apply can be found online. In addition to completing the online application, you will need to provide official transcripts from all previous institutions, GRE scores, a current CV, statement of purpose, three letters of recommendation and meet English proficiency requirements.
Are there minimum requirements for admission?
Admissions decisions are made on a competitive basis that take into account several aspects of a student’s portfolio so there are no minimum requirements in any category. However, because the program at Texas A&M at Qatar is exactly the same as that of our main campus in College Station, Texas, we can provide a profile of the entering 2010 chemical engineering master’s students. The average quantitative score for GRE was 770 (161 on tests taken after August 1, 2011) and the average GPA was 3.7 on a 4.0 scale.
How much will the program cost?
Tuition is approximately $535 per credit hour so students should expect a minimum of $16,000 for tuition costs.
How long will the program take?
Full-time students should expect to graduate in 1.5 to 2 years. Part-time student completion time will depend on enrollment hours per semester.
Is financial aid available?
Graduate assistantships are available and require a minimum of 20 hours per week of work on a research project or as a teaching/grading assistant. This will qualify the student for tuition compensation, a stipend and other benefits. Qatar Foundation can also be contacted about student loans, however they typically will require you to be admitted before they will make a formal offer of financial support.
Texas A&M University and Texas A&M University at Qatar Exchange Programs
Our main campus in the U.S. does offer graduate degrees in Chemical, Electrical and Computer, Mechanical and Petroleum Engineering as well as Science and Liberal Arts. Many students who are admitted to these programs in the U.S., spend semesters at Texas A&M at Qatar to work on research. Additionally, the Petroleum Engineering Department on main campus offers graduate degrees via distance education. For admissions information you must contact the respective office of the program you wish to apply to and you must apply to Texas A&M University in the U.S.
