• The undergraduate program emphasizes the molecular science aspects of biology and chemistry along with the engineering concepts essential to developing commercial products and processes. By selecting an appropriate concentration or by choice of free electives, students can prepare for a professional career path or for further study in chemical, biomolecular, or a related engineering field as well as medical, law, or business school. In the tradition of the Johns Hopkins University, many undergraduates are also involved in research, working closely with faculty and graduate students in research groups. Many students enjoy ChemE Car, a student-run project team in which students from all majors work together to design and build model cars powered and stopped purely by chemical reactions.
  • The department also offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees. These programs emphasize research leading to written thesis.
