About the course

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Students are not admitted into the program with the intention of earning a terminal Master's degree, however, students may obtain a Master's degree as a milestone on the path to completing their Ph.D. degree. Students typically graduate in five years. In Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, we seek solutions to some of the world’s most complex problems, from finding ways to more efficiently produce fuels and chemicals to improving human health through better drug delivery and new biomaterials. Students in the Ph.D. program engage in innovative, interdisciplinary research in world-class facilities and are part of a diverse and active student body.Ph.D. students typically take about eight courses in their first two years and also become involved as teaching assistants during their second and third years in the program.Students in the Ph.D. program can elect to obtain a non-thesis or thesis-based M.S. degree on their way to their Ph.D. degree.
