Non-Thesis Option
The non-thesis option requires a minimum of 10 courses with the same distribution requirements in Chemical engineering. Students who follow the non-thesis option normally complete their studies in 9 to 15 months.
MS Course Requirements
1. Three courses in the areas of Transport Processes and
Chemical Process Principles (Kinetics and Thermodynamics).
a. Transport Processes: select from 4241, 4242, 437, and 462.
b. Kinetics: select from 408, 409, 410, and 414.
c. Thermodynamics: select from 404, 406
2. One elective must be taken within the department if thesis
option is selected; three electives must be taken within the
department if nonthesis
option is selected.
*While there are some limited funding opportunities for full-time masters students in our department, preference is given to the doctoral students. As a consequence, nearly all of our master’s students are self-funded. In addition to a traditional masters degree in the Department
of Chemical and Biological Engineering, McCormick offers a number
of professional masters degree programs, including
the Masters
in Biotechnology, directed by Professor William M. Miller.
