Requirements for the Plan A M.S. Degree
Students must complete 30 credits of coursework and research, composed of three core courses: CHEG 5301 Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics I, CHEG 5315 Transfer Operations I, and CHEG 5321 Reaction Kinetics I, as well as nine credits of GRAD 5950 Master's Thesis Research, and 12 additional credits of advanced coursework and training. Up to six credits of graduate level coursework can be transferred, subject to approval of the graduate committee. The student must assemble a thesis committee and complete a plan of study. There is a publication/product requirement. Students should register for the seminar series each semester it is offered.
Requirements for the Plan B M.S. Degree
Students must complete 30 coursework credits, composed of three core courses in thermodynamics, kinetics and mass transport and three credits of an independent study project with one of our faculty members. Since Plan B does not included a thesis, a Plan B student must defend their project orally. There is no language requirement.
