What will I learn?

Biological chemical engineering is a quickly-growing field. The Master of Engineering Degree Program provides graduates with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of industrial experiences and forms the base for an expanding career. Graduates from this program will have the skills to identify, evaluate, and manage cost and performance decisions throughout the major stages of life in large-scale developments in the pharmaceutical and related industries. The 30-credit hour program is comprised of 12 credit hours of core chemical and biotechnology courses, 6 hours of elective chemical engineering courses, 6 hours of biology elective courses, and 6 hours of chemistry elective courses.Our faculty are leading experts in a cross-cutting range of technical areas, and bring state-of-the-art technology, knowledge and teaching methods to the classroom, creating an intellectually stimulating environment for students to engage in advanced learning through our MS/ME degree offerings. Our programs are rigorous but have a high completion rate within a period of about 1.5 years. In addition to undergraduate majors in chemical engineering, our Master’s program is also suitable for students from related disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology, and other engineering backgrounds (e.g., Material Science, Mechanical Engineering, etc.).Biological Chemical Engineering is a rapidly-growing field. The Master of Engineering in Biological Chemical Engineering provides graduates with the flexibility to adapt to a variety of industrial experiences and forms the foundation for an expanding career in biomolecular and biopharmaceutical engineering. Graduates from this program will have the skills to identify, evaluate and manage cost and performance decisions throughout the major stages of life in large-scale developments in the pharmaceutical and related industries.

Preference is given to letters from research advisors and professors (should account for at least 2 of the 3 letters for Ph.D. applicants), but relevant letters from technical/industrial employers who are able to speak to a candidates potential for graduate study and research will also be accepted.
  • Candidates resume summarizing background relevant to graduate study, including (but not limited to) education/degree(s), class rank, relevant coursework, projects, research, technical publications, relevant work experience, career goals, extracurricular activities, etc. The resume should be current, documenting experiences and positions held up to and at the time of application.
  • Candidates Personal Statement, detailing motivation for graduate study, relevant background and research experience, specific research interests, specific faculty of interest, etc.
  • Complete transcripts from each college and university attended. Unofficial copies may be uploaded by the candidate, but official transcripts from the prior institutions Registrar office must be submitted by candidates who accept offers of admission.
  • GRE scores are no longer required nor considered as part of the application review process.
  • Applicants must have earned a Bachelors of Science (B.S.) or a Master of Science (M.S.) in Chemical Engineering or a related engineering discipline by the time of their matriculation. Applicants with degrees in related science fields (e.g., chemistry, physics, biology) are also welcome. Bridging coursework is available as needed to help ensure smooth transition from less conventional technical degrees into our programs.
  • GPA (US equivalent) higher than 3.3 on a 4.0 scale for Ph.D. applicants and 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for Masters applicants is preferred. GPA standards for international institutions will be followed accordingly. Consideration will be given to a trend showing a strengthening of the core GPA during the final semesters of study.
