BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

Among the earliest chemical engineering programs in the United States, this bachelor's degree teaches how raw materials become useful products. Students build a base in chemical and biological engineering along with the professional and technical abilities needed to lead and innovate in the process industries. Learners can steer their studies toward personal interests through five specializations: bioengineering, environmental engineering, polymer science, process design and operation, and a track on energy, environment, and economics known as E3. Instruction takes place on campus in the division covering engineering, science, and health, where laboratory courses support the lectures. The degree has STEM designation and satisfies F-1 visa requirements for international students, with hands-on learning built into the curriculum so that students practice what they study.
