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 2090  - CHEM 2080  or CHEM 2150  with AP credit 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) advanced placement: a score of 5 on the CEEB AP exam or a score of 7 on the IB Higher Level exam. (2) CHEME 2880 - Biomolecular Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications (spring, 3 credits). (3) CHEME 5430 Bioprocess Engineering  (fall, 3 credits). (4) 8 credits of a pre-med biology sequence: BIOG 1500 - Investigative Biology Laboratory  (academic year, 2 credits) and BIOMG 1350 - Introductory Biology: Cell and Developmental Biology  (academic year, 3 credits) and BIOG 1440 - Introductory Biology: Comparative Physiology  (academic year, 3 credits), or BIOEE 1610 - Introductory Biology: Ecology and the Environment  (academic year, 3 credits), BIOG 1105 - Introductory Biology, Individual Instruction  (fall, 4 credits), BIOG 1106 - Introductory Biology, Individualized Instruction  (spring, 4 credits), BIOG 1107 - Introductory Biology I: From Atom to Cell  (summer, first half of eight-week session, 4 credits) or BIOG 1108 - Introductory Biology II: From Cell to Biosphere  (summer, second half of eight-week session, 4 credits). (5) 3 credits of microbiology: BIOMI 2900 - General Microbiology Lectures  (fall, spring, or summer six-week session, 3 credits). (6) 4 credits of biochemistry: BIOMG 3300 - Principles of Biochemistry, Individualized Instruction  (fall or spring, 4 credits) or BIOMG 3330 - Principles of Biochemistry: Proteins, Metabolism, and Molecular Biology  (summer six-week session, 4 credits). BIOMG 3350  (spring, 4 credits).
