GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAMS

Doctoral Program

Doctoral (Ph.D.) Degree: The Ph.D.-degree is a recognized terminal degree in the practical and creative areas in chemical engineering. The Ph.D. candidate is

one who understands and demonstrates what it means to be a working researcher. It prepares students for independent research careers in industry or academia. Doctoral students are fully funded.

Master's Degree Programs

BS/MS Program: The purpose of this program is to give outstanding undergraduate students an opportunity to obtain both BS and MS degrees in chemical engineering with relatively little additional time required beyond the BS degree. Students eligible for this program should have substantial room in their senior year schedule projection in order to incorporate the required graduate coursework. Also, interested students should attempt to complete some undergraduate research to get a feel for their interest in graduate work.

Master's Non-Thesis Program: A course-work based degree that provides students with added depth in the technical aspects of the field and breadth through elective courses and includes an independent project. This program can be full-time or part-time. Full-time students can complete the requirements in three semesters. This program is also a good option for working professionals looking to complete their master’s degree on a part-time basis.
