Chemical engineering combines chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology and economics principles, aiming to efficiently use, produce, design, transport, and transform energy and materials. The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering degree program at Cleveland State University (CSU) equips students with advanced skills in these areas to apply engineering analysis and design to tackle ongoing challenges in the industry.<br><br>The graduate program in chemical engineering provides advanced training in core areas and allows the student to take courses on an advanced level in specific areas of interest. The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSChE) program is designed to meet the needs of both part-time and full-time students. It provides an opportunity for students to hold full-time employment and further their education on a part-time basis. Full-time students can complete the program in 1 1/2 - 2 years. The program meets the needs of students planning to continue their studies at the doctoral level, as well as students terminating their formal studies at the MS level.<br><br>The Chemical Engineering program prepares students for careers in design, operation, research, or management. While graduates of this program traditionally find employment in the chemical industry, more chemical engineering graduates are becoming employed in the areas of general manufacturing, polymer and composite processing, materials engineering, medical equipment, and pharmaceuticals. Many companies seek graduate-level chemical engineers to work in the areas of bioengineering, energy management, and environmental engineering.
