Department
of Chemical Engineering
Master of
Science Degree Requirements
All students who pursue
the Thesis option must complete a minimum of twenty-four semester
hours of coursework. A non-credit seminar course and a six semester
hour Master’s Thesis are also required. Students must arrange
an appropriate course sequence in consultation with the Graduate
Program Advisor. Part-time students must complete thirty-four
semester hours of coursework. Part-time students may choose to
complete a Thesis, in which case they must also attend the seminar
course. All students who receive financial support from the University
in the form of a research or teaching assistantship must complete
a Thesis.
Students
with a Bachelor of Science degree in a field other than Chemical
Engineering may earn an unspecified Master of Science degree.
Such students may be required to complete supplementary undergraduate
coursework beyond the minimum course requirements as shown below.

Departure Prior to Thesis Completion
Occasionally students have left the Chemical Engineering department
prior to completion of all degree requirements. In such instances,
long time intervals have often elapsed before Thesis or manuscript
submission. Accordingly, the department has adopted the guideline
that a student cannot submit a Thesis for credit beyond three
years after s/he stops actively pursuing the research. Exceptions
may be granted upon petition to the departmental Graduate Committee.
Petitions must demonstrate extenuating circumstances and prove
that the research is still of value to the profession.
