化学工程硕士课程的目标是使学生能够在化学工程的多个领域建立坚实的基础。该计划需要32个学时。学生可以选择在论文顾问的批准下基于六至八个学分的研究完成论文（CHE 591），完成不超过六个学分的项目课程工作的硕士项目（CHE 594），或者完成带有课程作业的程序。与该系研究生课程的方法相一致，学生在与他/她的顾问协商后可以很灵活地制定课程。在研究生的第一学期完成之前，全日制学生应选择一名永久顾问。兼职攻读学位的研究生应在注册第十个学分时选择永久顾问。学生与顾问协商，准备反映个人需求和兴趣的学习计划。有论文选
An MS in chemical engineering prepares the student for a wide variety of employment experiences in the industry ranging from plant operation to plant design. Employment opportunities in research may also be available to qualified MS graduates. Typically starting salaries are slightly higher than those for BS graduates. The MS degree is designed to give the student a solid foundation in chemical engineering principles and a strong research experience. For students desiring design experience rather than research experience, an MS degree with design emphasis is available.
