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 Doctoral Degree in Chemical Engineering

The doctoral (Ph.D.) degree prepares students to solve complex, long-term research problems. You can expect to graduate in four to five years and to work on a large research project, culminating in a dissertation. The majority of our doctoral graduates end up in industry careers, usually in research and product development positions. Others go on to careers in academia, either as a postdoctoral researcher or an assistant professor. Major research areas include Energy, Environment, Synthetic Biology, and Biotechnology.
