MA/MS in Chemical Engineering

Chemical engineering at UIC leads to a master's degree, and the same department confers a doctorate too. A varied slate of advanced courses lets students deepen their grasp of the discipline. Faculty research touches many themes, including biotechnology, soft matter, molecular-scale investigation, sustainable energy and water, catalysis, drug delivery, biomedical devices, environmental engineering, and advanced materials. Projects frequently cross disciplines, with the goal of tackling real problems in health care, energy supply, the environment, and manufacturing. A student who enjoys mixing chemistry, biology, and process design can find a niche. Anyone interested should open the catalog entry, where a link explains how admission works and what the degree requires. Reading it before applying makes it easier to plan coursework and to judge whether the department's strengths match personal goals.
