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.

A Technical elective is any course offered by the School of Science and Engineering.
An Engineering elective is any non-required CENG course, a course offered
by one of the engineering departments (BMEN, ENGP), or by Computer Science
(COSC). (Note that a course such as CENG 4890, for example, could count as
either a Technical or Engineering elective, but no single course can be
used to satisfy two requirements.) At least one of the two required
courses must be at the 3000-or-above level.
