Chemical Engineering Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
Major code BS7251
The chemical engineering curriculum is planned so that its graduates are familiar with the techniques used in analyzing and solving engineering problems associated with the chemical and related industries (petroleum, metallurgical, plastics, pollution, control, etc.). In addition, the program provides an excellent background for graduate study in engineering, science, business administration, law, or medicine.
Study in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and communication skills is emphasized. Courses in engineering fundamentals are introduced, followed by intensive work in engineering analysis and design. Emphasis is placed upon the application of principles from many fields of study to the solving of engineering problems. Computer solutions, safety, process control theory, economics, and similar topics are stressed. Electives permit you to pursue interests in humanities, social sciences, and technical areas.

The program listed above contains 210 hours of courses for the degree.
- May be taken in any order.
- In general, courses outside the chemical engineering sequence can be taken at any time provided prerequisites have been met. A minimum of 24 hours must be taken in social studies and humanities, with at least 8 hours in each area (including the depth requirement described in "Humanities and Social Sciences Electives") and adherence to university General Education Requirements.
- Minimum list available in departmental office. These are courses in the areas of engineering, chemistry, mathematics, physics, plant biology, microbiology, and geology. Minimum of three chemical engineering and nine additional CHE or other technical elective hours required.
- Does not count toward ENT humanities.
