Chemical Engineering: Degrees & Policies
Transfer Policy
Transfer students must first apply to the university and meet the university transfer admission requirements. For admission of transfer students to engineering, see the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Transfer Policy section.
Degrees Offered
Undergraduate: BS
Combined: BS/MBA
Combined: BS/MBA
Degree Options
In addition to the regular BS program, a five-year BS-CE/MBA combined degree program has been established. Also, the Department of Biological Sciences offers a special biotechnology minor exclusively for chemical engineering majors. The department also offers three tracks, which are specifications of electives for students wishing to focus on a specialty within chemical engineering. Currently tracks are established for (i) Biological Engineering; (ii) Materials Engineering; and (iii) Process Engineering. Details may be obtained at the department web site.
Advisement
The 2008-09 catalog presents a new curriculum involving substantial changes to the degree program that were first introduced in the 2006-07 catalog. The new curriculum is being phased in beginning with the freshman class entering in 2006 (expected graduation date of June 2010). Students planning to complete the degree before 2010 (in particular, transfer students) must follow the degree requirements published in the 2005-06 catalog.
Chemical Engineering - B.S.
Acceptance Criteria
See the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Acceptance Information section.
Advising Notes
Students must meet minimum GPA requirements in engineering as specified by the Dean of Engineering to graduate from the program. See the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Academic Requirements section.
