The chemical engineering faculty offer a graduate program leading to the MS in Chemical Engineering.

Areas of research emphasis include atmospheric aerosols, biomolecular engineering, biosensors, chemical therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, electrochemistry, electronic materials processing, engineering education, flexible display technology, fuel cells, inorganic membranes, process design and operations, protein synthesis, transport phenomena in living systems and water purification.

This degree has two options: a thesis option and a non-thesis option. The non-thesis option requires an applied project. Both options require a faculty advisor. All students are admitted to the non-thesis option until a faculty advisor has been secured and agrees to allow the student to change to the thesis option.
