北卡罗拉娜州立大学

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offers an online Master of Science degree designed to help professional engineers strengthen and build on their chemical engineering foundations. The program’s part-time, long-distance schedule offers flexibility for off-campus students to earn a master’s degree in three to five years.

In our distance program, students choose the path that fits their schedule, whether they aim to put their careers on a faster track, sharpen their skills, earn and maintain Professional Engineer (PE) licenses. Our distance education program also gives non-chemical engineering professionals the opportunity to spark a career change or gain expertise in an emerging field.

No matter your background, the program helps you stay on track for your education while you stay connected to your life.

The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering (MSCHE) is designed for students with an undergraduate degree in an engineering discipline who wish to pursue a graduate degree in chemical engineering. Outstanding students with degrees in biochemistry, chemistry, physics, and other branches of science and engineering may also qualify for admission with the completion of required pre-requisite courses.

Degree Requirements

Completion of 30 credit hours of graduate level courses at the 500 or 700 level with an overall grade point average of 3.0.
Completion of the following core courses:
CHE 711 Chemical Engineering Process Modeling
CHE 713 Thermodynamics I
CHE 715 Transport Phenomena
CHE 717 Chemical Reaction Engineering
The remaining six courses should be taken from Chemical Engineering (preferable) or other graduate-level courses offered through Engineering Online. Students must receive approval for non-chemical engineering courses from the Director of Graduate Programs in Chemical Engineering.
No thesis or on-campus residency requirement.
All requirements for the degree must be completed within six years of enrolling in the first course appearing on the NC State graduate transcript. Students must comply with the Graduate School regulations for continuous enrollment or must request a leave of absence not to exceed one year.
