Program requirements
The graduate requirements for the chemist program are the same as those for any chemical engineering student. They include eight courses, five of which must be in chemical engineering, and a thesis. This program is flexible, and we try to design a specific program to meet each student's needs. For example, if a student is interested in materials or environmental engineering, it is possible to take half of the courses and do the thesis in one of these areas.

The program can be pursued on either a full-time or part-time basis. In some instances, assistantships are available.

Admission requirements
The normal qualification for admission is a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry and a 3.0 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Additional prerequisites for the program include knowledge of differential equations and computer programming in a structured language such as Basic or Fortran. The undergraduate chemical engineering courses that are required are as follows:

CME 201  -  Material Balances

CME 202  -  Energy Balances

CME 311  -  Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics

CME 324  -  Transport Phenomena I

CME 365  -  Separation Techniques

CME 465  -  Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Processes
