BA/BS in Chemical Engineering

This bachelor's program in chemical engineering covers biopharmaceutical processes, clean energy and sustainable materials. It is ABET accredited, STEM designated, and offers a combined five-year bachelor's and master's route. Concentrations are available in biological, energy, materials and environmental engineering, so students can focus on living systems, batteries and fuel cells, polymers and composites, or pollution control. Popular minors include environmental studies, business, biology and data science. Undergraduates at Worcester Polytechnic Institute also take part in project-based learning, with the chance to complete real projects for outside organizations. Options such as a minor, a concentration or a combined bachelor's and master's route let students shape the degree around their own goals, and the university's career services help graduates move into jobs or further study.
