BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

The chemical engineering program leads to a Bachelor of Science and is taught in small settings where faculty know their students well. Majors take extensive laboratory courses and may specialize in one of five areas: materials, data and computation, environmental, biological, or process engineering. Independent, faculty-guided research is available to every major, and many students present their findings at conferences. Some also study abroad during their junior year. An accelerated five-year path combines the bachelor's with a master's degree. Graduates work in areas such as food science, pharmaceuticals, environmental engineering, materials and energy, and many enter graduate school. The department page lists requirements for the major and gives contact details for the faculty office. Prospective students can follow the link there to the university admissions pages, which explain how applications are submitted.
