• The Master of Chemical Engineering (MChE) degree program at Rice University offers a non-thesis professional degree intended to better prepare students for a career in the field of chemical engineering.
  • The curriculum is designed for recent graduates with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering to complete in two semesters (fall and spring).
  • The curriculum is also designed for students with a non-chemical engineering bachelor's degree.
  • Additional semesters are typically needed in order for the students to take the additional courses that chemical engineering bachelor's degree holders have taken (i.e., chemical engineering design and process control).
  • Also, some courses may be recommended to the student, in preparation for the graduate-level courses, depending on the student.
