Chemical, Biochemical & Environmental Engineering

Why Study Chemical, Biochemical & Environmental Engineering?

This doctoral program supports students to independently conduct research and broaden scholarship in the field. A PhD is recommended for those who expect to engage in a professional career in research, teaching, or technical work of an advanced nature.

These graduate degrees also emphasize engineering principles, critical thinking, cooperation, communication skills, and lifelong learning—and, for the doctoral program, the ability to create new knowledge. Master’s students can choose a thesis, a research-based project, or a course-only pathway. The doctoral program is even more research based. The department is also committed to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
