Graduate Program in the Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering is home to a top-ranked graduate program in Chemical Engineering. We offer a unique environment for graduate studies- we are large enough to boast world-renowned faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities, yet small enough to give every graduate student personal attention.

The Chemical Engineering Graduate Program provides students with a strong grounding in the fundamentals and explores critical applications in a wide range of process systems.

The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering

The Master of Science (M.S.) degree is aimed at preparing students for careers in research and development, or for further study in the field. Like the doctoral degree, the M.S. degree combines coursework and research, but with a more limited scope of the research project and thesis to reflect the shorter time-to-degree. After graduation, the majority of our master’s students find jobs in industry. Major research areas include Energy, Environment, Synthetic Biology, and Biotechnology.
