Offered by McGill University in Montréal, Canada, BA/BS in Chemical Engineering is a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering programme. Tuition is CAD 104 per credit for local students.
This is McGill's Bachelor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering, offered through the Department of Chemical Engineering in the Faculty of Engineering. The program is built equally on physics, mathematics, and chemistry, applied to a quantitative understanding of the process industries; students with an interest in biology can take courses that connect chemical engineering to areas such as food processing, fermentation, biomedical applications, and water pollution control. Coursework on the technical operations and economics of process industries leads into a core sequence of process design courses taught by practising design engineers, with problem-solving, experimentation, planning, and communication skills emphasized throughout. The department requires a grade of C or better in all core courses, which include required departmental and non-departmental courses as well as technical complementary courses. The page notes that students who take advantage of summer session courses, or who enter with sufficient transferable science credits, may be able to shorten their time to completion, though it does not fix a specific timeline. It suits students who want an engineering program grounded equally in the physical sciences and mathematics, with design work led by practising engineers.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This McGill program page carries no admission criteria of its own; it directs applicants to the university's general admission requirements, and to enter you apply to the Faculty of Engineering. Under McGill's institution-wide rules, Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly from their DEC into the program, following the required Science/Engineering-stream prerequisite courses; Canadian applicants from other provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record, for example Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses, with at least four of the six and all prerequisites at the 4U level; international applicants are assessed by their own school system (US high school, IB, British-pattern, or other) and are normally admitted with an extra Freshman (U0) year. Admission is by academic record only, and meeting the published minimums does not guarantee a place. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
