This major is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

The undergraduate major in chemical engineering comprises a coordinated sequence of courses beginning in the sophomore year and extending through the fourth year. Students who plan to enter the major take CHEM 2080  during the freshman year. The program for the last three years is as follows:

Semester 7:


Semester 8:


Note:


*Every student must complete one of the seven following options for the biology elective: (1) CHEME 2880 - Biomolecular Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications .
