Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Overview

The program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering (B.S.Ch.E.) is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (http://www.abet.org). This degree requires a total of 132 credit hours.

Students seeking a B.S.Ch.E. degree must satisfy the foundation, core and elective requirements. Through careful selection of other engineering and science courses, a student can develop a focus (or concentration) area in any of the following four engineering disciplines:

  • biotechnology/bioengineering,
  • environmental engineering,
  • materials science and engineering, and
  • computational engineering.

These elective programs can be completed within the framework of a B.S.Ch.E..

The undergraduate curriculum is designed so that outstanding students interested in careers in research and teaching may enter graduate school after earning either bachelor's degree.

Upon completion of the B.S.Ch.E. program, a student is eligible to apply for a fifth year of specialized study leading to the degree of Master of Chemical Engineering (M.Ch.E.). Speak to your academic advisor for details.
