M.S. Chemical Engineering

Students interested in full-time study for the Master's in Chemical Engineering have the option to obtain an MS degree from coursework only, or an MS degree from a combination of coursework and the successful defense of a thesis based on independent research. To foster partnerships with local industry (e.g. , Kodak, Xerox, Bausch & Lomb, etc.), the Department offers most of its graduate courses in the late afternoon or evening to allow engineers and scientists employed full time to pursue the M.S. degree on a part-time basis. An appealing option for Chemical Engineering undergraduates at Rochester is the Department's 3/2-BS/MS program. The 3/2 program leads to both the B.S. and the M.S. degrees in Chemical Engineering in five years. The typical time required to complete an M.S. degree is two years for a full time student. Our graduate handbook provides additional details on the requirements for the masters degree.
