• The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering offers graduate courses leading to the PhD, MS and ME degrees.
  • PhD students spend the majority of their time carrying out dissertation research.
  • Coursework requirements beyond the first semester are minimal and students typically become deeply engaged in research in their second semester.
  • The master's degree reflects mastery of core and specialized areas of chemical/biological engineering, as well as the ability to conduct research on a well-defined problem formulated by the student's faculty advisor.
