• Candidates for the Master of Science must complete 24 semester hours of graduate-level courses (12 hours in chemical engineering core courses, 6 hours in a minor field complementary to the research, and 6 hours in chemical engineering and related areas).
  • The candidate's course selection is approved by the thesis advisor. In addition to course work, each degree candidate conducts research under the supervision of a faculty advisor, prepares a written thesis, and presents it orally to the faculty.
  • The program does not typically provide financial assistance to M.S. students, so applicants will be responsible for providing the funds to support their tuition and living expenses. Graduates holding a B.S. in science, mathematics, and other engineering disciplines must demonstrate sufficient skill and knowledge in problem-solving for placement into the core chemical engineering courses.
