Graduate Program: Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.)

The M.S.E. is a research-based master's degree, culminating in an M.S.E. thesis describing the student's original research. Each candidate's experience is broadened through satisfactory completion of six graduate courses in Chemical Engineering. The typical duration of M.S.E. study is 18 to 24 months; students admitted in candidacy for the M.S.E. degree typically have support from their employers or from external fellowships. Detailed descriptions of the program requirements for the Ph.D. degree may be found in the department's Graduate Student Handbook.
