Program Outline

Outline:

The program of study encompasses a minimum of one hundred thirty-one (131) semester hours for the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in chemical engineering. Candidates for the Bachelor’s degree are required to earn a “C” or higher in all engineering courses and must achieve a 2.0-grade point average (GPA) in the forty-five semester hours of chemical engineering major courses. Additionally, students must attain a grade of “C-” or higher in all courses transferred into the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. The curriculum includes coursework in general education, mathematics, basic science, computer science, advanced chemistry, general engineering science, and chemical engineering science and design.
