化学和生物工程系提供理学硕士，工程学硕士和哲学博士学位，每种课程都是为满足其研究生不断变化的教育需求而量身定制的。所有研究生课程都提供灵活性。建议学生计划使用课程选择和选修课的课程，以对其学位专业的一个或多个子专业进行深入研究。鼓励使用伦斯勒（Rensselaer）其他系或学校提供的课程进行跨学科研究.MS（要求论文）可用于专业入学，但也非常适合希望衡量其获得博士学位的能力的学生。 D．无需花费超出MS所需时间的额外时间。为此目的，可以使用一个特殊的可选硕士课程。熟练掌握CHBE的核心课程或领域。有效的口
Graduate work in chemical engineering provides an opportunity for study and research at the cutting edge to contribute to shaping a new model of what chemical engineering is and what chemical engineers do. All faculty members in the Department are active in research and direction of graduate student projects. Additionally, students are provided with numerous professional development activities, including attendance at conferences, professional seminars, career services, teaching supervision for those interested in academic careers, etc.<br><br>Candidates for the Master of Science must complete 24 semester hours of graduate level courses (12 hours in chemical engineering core courses, 6 hours in a minor field complementary to the research, and 6 hours in chemical engineering and related areas). The candidate's course selection is approved by the thesis advisor. In addition to course work, each degree candidate conducts research under the supervision of a faculty advisor, prepares a written thesis, and presents it orally to the faculty.<br><br>The program does not typically provide financial assistance to M.S. students, so applicants will be responsible for providing the funds to support their tuition and living expenses. Graduates holding a B.S. in science, mathematics, and other engineering disciplines must demonstrate sufficient skill and knowledge in problem solving for placement into the core chemical engineering courses. Persons interested in this program should contact the Director of Graduate Studies in Chemical Engineering for more detailed information.
