The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering provides an excellent graduate program culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree. Additionally, we offer a coursework-only professional master's degree (MChE).
At Rice University, the PhD program focuses primarily on research, with an emphasis on cultivating students' capacity for independent scientific investigation. Our graduate curriculum ensures a strong foundation in engineering principles for versatility, proficiency with engineering tools for productivity, and well-defined professional development objectives for career success.
Our professional master's (M.Ch.E.) program in chemical engineering delivers a non-thesis degree tailored to enhance students' readiness for chemical engineering careers. This curriculum is structured for recent chemical engineering bachelor's graduates to finish within two semesters (Fall and Spring).
