Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering - Pre-Medical

Chemical engineers study how to convert low-value raw materials into high-value products by making highly specific chemical changes in that material. This typically involves designing or discovering novel processes rather than devices or products. Chemical engineers know the chemical nature of materials, and predict how chemical changes in the molecular structure of a material will alter the ultimate physical properties of a material.The School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering in the Gallogly College of Engineering prepares students to serve the changing needs of the industry through training in process engineering, project engineering, materials development and bioengineering. Students leave OU with problem-solving skills that put them at the top of the job applicant pool. The average starting salary for OU chemical engineer graduates is 60,000 per year, one of the top careers in entry-level pay.
