MA/MS in Chemical Engineering

The Master of Science in Energy, Environmental and Chemical Engineering is described as typically a two-year degree. Students complete coursework and may carry out research under a faculty member's supervision. Applicants who hold an undergraduate degree in engineering or in the physical or life sciences are welcome. The degree can be finished through one of three pathways. The first is coursework only. The second adds independent study and a research report that is reviewed by an advisor and an external reviewer but is not formally published. The third adds master's research and a thesis that is defended before a committee and published through the school. Students on the coursework-only route may count independent study toward their degree, and the department provides instructions for enrolling in research credits. Core and elective requirements are listed on the program page.
