Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (Plan B)

In the M.S. program in Chemical Engineering, students will work side-by-side with world-renowned experts to conduct original research to address global challenges using chemical engineering principles. Our program equips students with a diverse skill set essential for the next generation of chemical engineering leaders in academia and industry. Our students are involved in a wide range of innovative research areas, including, advanced polymeric materials, bioanalytical devices, biomedical science and engineering, systems biology, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing. There are abundant opportunities for collaboration with various departments across the University, including departments in the Colleges of Engineering, Natural Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and beyond. The Plan B degree is completed with a scholarly paper and satisfactory performance on a final comprehensive examination approved by the student’s graduate committee.

Completion of a bachelor’s degree equivalent to a U.S. Bachelor’s degree from an institution that is recognized by a governmental national higher education authority (at the time the degree was earned). Transcripts of all collegiate work completed. In general, the minimum cumulative GPA for non-provisional admittance is a 3.000 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) to be admitted by the Graduate School. Departments may require a higher GPA. For admission of international applicants, the minimum grade for non-provisional admittance is a B grade equivalent. The grade equivalency is the recommended U.S. grade equivalent, not the GPA equivalent.
