Program in Chemical Engineering

The graduate program in the Department of Chemical Engineering at BYU began in 1962. We offer programs of study leading to master of science (MS) degrees. The MS degrees each require coursework as well as an independent research project leading to a written thesis or dissertation.

The department seeks to develop graduate students who have broad knowledge of fundamental principles (math, science, and engineering) plus cutting-edge expertise in a topical area. Students learn to conduct independent and creative research leading to solutions of present-day engineering problems. Graduate students are expected to assume primary responsibility for their own progress and to develop habits of inquiry that will ensure continuing intellectual development throughout their careers. Graduates of the department contribute to society and find rewarding employment in a range of industries and fields--as researchers, consultants, managers, and teachers.
