BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering is a Bachelor of Engineering offered on campus at Laurentian University, requiring 144 credits over four years, or five years with the co-op option. The program combines chemistry, physics, and mathematics to design processes that convert raw materials into useful products, covering chemical and biological process design, sustainability, mineral extraction, and industrial production systems. Students complete group design projects applying engineering principles to real production challenges. Graduates are eligible for professional engineering licensure and pursue careers in process engineering, mineral processing, and manufacturing. Admission for Ontario high school applicants requires Grade 12 English, Grade 12 Advanced Functions, Grade 12 Physics, Grade 12 Chemistry, one additional Grade 12 U/M math or science course, and one other Grade 12 U/M course, with a minimum overall average of 70% across the six best Grade 12 U/M courses.
