New students pursuing a Master's degree are generally accepted into the M.E. program exclusively. However, if a Chemical Engineering faculty member agrees to act as thesis advisor, M.E. candidates might have the opportunity to switch to a thesis-focused M.S. program after initial enrollment in the M.E. track.
Full-time attendance is mandatory for the M.S. program.
To earn an M.S. degree, students must complete five foundational graduate-level courses covering essential chemical engineering principles. These core classes account for 15 credits, representing half of the 30-credit minimum needed for the M.S. Additionally, the program mandates at least 6 research credits and an original research project resulting in a written thesis, which must be presented and defended before an evaluation committee. Beyond the five core courses, three elective graduate-level classes are required for the M.S. degree.
