To become a CBEE graduate student you must be admitted to Oregon State University through both the Office of Graduate Education and CBEE. The faculty in CBEE examine the material submitted to determine adequacy of academic background and to decide whether facilities in the School are adequate for the expressed aims of the student.

The Office of Graduate Education will determine whether the general university conditions for admission have been met. Applicants will be notified by the Office of Graduate Education as to the action taken. A critical consideration in the decision is whether the applicant's academic objectives can be satisfactorily fulfilled. CBEE does not have the capacity to accommodate all applicants who meet the minimum admission requirements. Applicants to the school of CBEE graduate program must meet the OSU Office of Graduate Education's CBEE minimum admission requirements listed below, and submit a complete application package in order to be considered for admission https://graduate.oregonstate.edu/admissions.
