The path for those pursuing the thesis option includes the below requirements.
The following required courses:
化学 Reactor Analysis II
Transport Phenomena
化学 Engineering Analysis
Advanced 化学 Engineering Thermodynamics
Two additional 3-credit hour technical graduate courses selected in consultation with the student’s advisor. School of Business courses cannot be taken to satisfy this requirement.
Two credit hours of Seminar. While in residence, all students are required to attend seminars.
Ten credit hours of Thesis. All students are expected to start their thesis research at the beginning of their first semester in residence.
The MS thesis must be orally presented and defended before a committee of three or more faculty members, at least two of whom are from the department.
The 1-credit course, Fundamentals of 研究 and Graduate Study, is highly recommended. This course may be used as a substitute for 1 credit of Thesis.
A typical schedule is as follows. Individuals with an undergraduate degree in chemistry can have a different schedule.

Qualified chemists and physicists with a Bachelor of Science are able to earn an MS in 化学 Engineering in four semesters. During this course of study, the student will take undergraduate courses that are tailored to their background, as well as chemical engineering graduate-level subjects required for the MS program.
GRE Test Scores: the GRE requirement will be waived for spring and fall 2024 applicants.
For international applicants, an English proficiency test is required.
Minimum test score requirements: TOEFL (80) and TOEFL Essentials (8.5)、雅思(6).5), PTE (56) or Duolingo English Test (115).
The English language-testing requirement is not waived based on language of instruction, nor do we accept university certificates. English testing is waived if an applicant has a degree from a country where English is the Native Language. 点击这里 to see the list of these countries.
Prerequisites: BS or BE in chemical engineering. Those with degrees in other science or engineering disciplines may also be admitted, but will be required to make up undergraduate course deficiencies.
Student Perspective
"One of the best aspects I really enjoy is the program consists of both coursework and engaging research. They don't make you overburdened with too much coursework. The course load is very balanced with some very essential chemical engineering core courses."
