CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM OF STUDY

Core Chemical Engineering Courses

Courses numbered in the 1000s normally are taken in the freshman year; 2000s in the sophomore year; 3000s in the junior year; and 4000s in the senior year. Graduate courses are those numbered in the 6000s and 7000s; 6000-level courses may be taken by advanced undergraduates. The numbers in parentheses next to the course title indicate the course credit. The contact hours, or the actual number of weekly hours of lecture, laboratory, and other class work, are indicated after the credit.
