The department offers programs leading to the M.S.Ch.E. and
Ph.D. degrees. The M.S.Ch.E. thesis option requires 24 semester
hours of graduate course work and 6 semester hours of thesis
research. The non-thesis option requires 36 hours of course
work. As of Fall 2000, an option is available for students with
BS degrees in subjects other than Chemical Engineering
interested in bridging to a MS ChE degree.
Ph.D. students take a minimum of 36 credit hours beyond
their bachelor's degree program. Additional requirements for
the Ph.D. include the passing of qualifying and candidacy
examinations and the submission and oral defense of a
dissertation proposal and the final dissertation. The Ph.D.
degree has a residence requirement of one year full-time. An
M.S.Ch.E. degree typically requires two years beyond a
bachelor's degree in chemical engineering. The Ph.D.
degree typically requires an additional three years. Well
qualified chemical engineering graduates may be permitted to
pursue the Ph.D. degree directly.
