理学硕士学位使学生有机会在更短的时间内获得比化学博士学位更低的研究强度的化学工程高级学位。学生将对化学工程的核心原理有更深入的了解，并将学习独立研究的艺术。化学工程硕士学位可以作为博士学位的跳板，因为两个学位的课程要求相似。基于课程的课程：这种自筹资金的选择为学生提供了通过课程学习加深化学工程学科知识的机会。学生必须完成30个学分的核心和选修工程课程，平均GPA为3.3，才能获得学位。该课程通常可以在16到24个月内完成。参加该课程的学生将负责支付该学位的所有费用。基于项目的课程：在此自筹资金的课程下，学
The University of Dayton School of Engineering chemical engineering program is one of only a few universities in the nation involved in the modeling, control and automation of composite processing.<br><br>You'll develop scholarship, research and lab skills and excel in professional or continued graduate work. Our extensive course selection includes chemical, bio-sensors, chemical reactor analysis, and combustion as well as advanced work in nanomaterials and fuel cells. We also offer you special opportunities, including courses with the Dayton Area Graduate Studies Institute, evening courses and federally funded research.<br><br>A minimum of 30 semester hours. <br><br>15 credit hours chemical engineering courses selected from an area of concentration: fuels and combustion, environmental engineering, materials engineering, process model and control, or bioengineering. <br>9 semester hours engineering or basic science electives from current course offerings that are approved by the department chair.<br>6 semester hours thesis project. A final examination is required at the completion of the thesis. Upon the request of the student and with the approval of the faculty advisor and chair of the department, six hours of additional coursework plus three hours of special problem work may be substituted for the thesis.
