About the course

The Master of Science degree allows students an opportunity to earn an advanced degree in chemical engineering in less time and with lower research intensity than the PhD degree. Students will develop a deeper understanding of core principles of chemical engineering and will learn the art of independent research. The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering degree can be a good springboard for a PhD, since the course requirements for the two degrees are similar. Coursework-Based track: This self-funded option provides an opportunity for students to deepen their knowledge of chemical engineering subjects through coursework. Students must complete 30 credit hours of core and elective engineering courses with an average GPA of 3.3 to receive their degree. This track can usually be completed in 16 to 24 months. Students on this track are responsible for covering all costs for the degree. Project-Based track: Under this self-funded track, students perform an independent, self-directed project chosen either through consultation with their supervisory committee or through their employer. The project is worth six credit hours and students take 24 addition?al core and elective credit hours. Completing the degree involves an oral defense of the project before the supervisory committee. This track can usually be completed in 16 to 24 months. Students on this track are responsible for covering all costs for the degree. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
