Rutgers School of Engineering’s Master of Science (MS) in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering program provides outstanding graduate training in chemical and biochemical related science and engineering. Located in the heart of New Jersey’s pharmaceutical corridor, the program’s thesis and non-thesis options combine a robust curriculum with ample opportunities for research, practical training, and forging industry connections.

Core courses and electives—for both thesis and non-thesis degree options—are supported with close advising and mentoring by expert faculty. Rutgers offer:

  • A supportive and stimulating environment that promotes students’ individual and professional growth
  • Core chemical engineering courses in:
    • Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics
    • Advanced Transport Phenomena I: Momentum Transfer
    • Advanced Transport Phenomena II: Heat and Mass Transfer
    • Kinetics, Catalysis, and Reactor Design
    • Analytical Methods in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
  • Electives in a wide range of topics from multiple areas in chemical and biochemical engineering
  • Practical training courses, including industrial internships
  • Non-thesis MS degree option in pharmaceutical engineering that trains students in the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in next-generation pharmaceutical product design and manufacturing
  • Conveniently scheduled evening courses provide maximum flexibility to working professionals
  • Opportunity to take catch-up courses for students without an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering as part of the degree.
