M.S. students deepen their knowledge of chemical engineering and gain professional skills with our faculty members in a collaborative environment that is informal, friendly and intellectually vigorous. This allows students with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (or a closely related field) to improve their prospects of obtaining a higher-level position in a professional setting. The program covers basic subjects important to all chemical engineers such as thermodynamics, transport phenomena, kinetics and applied mathematics. In addition, students gain specialized skills in a specific area through targeted coursework and participation in their research groups.
Students who choose the M.S. program receive a quality education in an efficient manner. M.S. students enroll in the same courses as our Ph.D. students, but can complete their degrees in as few as three four quarters with a non-thesis option. The program is located in Seattle, Washington, one of the most technologically and scientifically innovative cities in the U.S. In addition to its professional opportunities, Seattle is also a vibrant city in close proximity to beautiful natural scenery.
