Degree Programs

We offer courses of study for both the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Chemical Engineering. Each program offers an excellent avenue for technical growth through advanced course studies, plus the opportunity to perform exciting original research. Students who enter the program upon completion of their B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering may elect to pursue a Ph.D. directly (bypassing the M.S. degree) or to obtain the M.S., then the Ph.D. degree.

Both the M.S. and Ph.D. programs require completion of a thesis (or report) based on independent creative study performed in collaboration with a research advisor. This research gives you the opportunity to work closely with a faculty member who is an authority in your chosen thesis field and to contribute new scientific and engineering knowledge. The selection of a research advisor is done by mutual agreement of the student and faculty member following discussions between the student and each member of our faculty.
