The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering offers an accelerated program that enables students to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in chemical engineering in approximately 5 years. Students are eligible to apply for the program after they have completed sixty-five (65) credit hours, typically at the end of the sophomore year (with at least 30 credit hours at CSU), and they have shown appropriate progress in their degree program. Once admitted to the combined program, students may complete up to twelve (12) credit hours of graduate courses while enrolled in the undergraduate program. Nine (9) of these credit hours will count towards both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements.
