The Penn CBE master's program aims to offer students a tailored educational experience that equips them for innovative and autonomous roles across various sectors, including industry, research, government, and academia. The University of Pennsylvania's M.S.E. in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering serves as an ideal pathway for those seeking to strengthen their expertise in the field's core principles, particularly for careers in research and development. This graduate program delivers intensive, advanced engineering education with opportunities to focus on specialized areas such as fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, bioengineering, polymer science, heat transfer, computational methods, and control systems.
Full-time students whose undergraduate degrees are in a field other than chemical engineering are required to take undergraduate core chemical and biomolecular engineering courses during their first year.
A strong command of the English language is necessary for successful study at Penn. Applicants whose families do not speak English at home, or applicants who have not attended a high school or secondary school where the primary language of instruction is English, are asked to take the TOEFL, the Test of English as a Foreign Language, administered by the Educational Testing Service. In the event the TOEFL is not readily accessible, Penn will accept results from the IELTS, the International English Language Testing System.
