MA/MS in Chemical Engineering

The Chemical Engineering master's program gives students advanced training in the principles behind chemical processes. Core classes cover advanced topics, transport phenomena, separation processes, reactor engineering, and chemical engineering thermodynamics. Three routes are available: a thesis, a research project, or coursework alone. Students on the coursework route must pass a comprehensive exam in their final semester covering core and elective content. The degree suits engineers who want deeper technical expertise for industry or preparation for doctoral research. Students work closely with faculty advisors, plan their schedule around the thesis, project, or coursework choices offered, and complete the hours listed in the official catalog. The structure leaves room for personal interests while keeping a clear core, and the credential is useful for advancement in the field or for continued graduate study.
