Program Description
An individual plan of graduate study in chemical engineering compatible with the student’s interest and background is offered. The primary emphasis of the program’s research activities is biotechnology and biomedical engineering. Cross-discipline thesis research projects in these areas are encouraged.
Program Admission Requirements
The admission requirements and procedures correspond to the requirements set forth by the UMBC Graduate School. Opportunities are available for undergraduate students to enroll in the B.S./M.S. program in their senior year. For students with non-chemical engineering B.S. degrees wishing to enter the M.S. or Ph.D. program, a series of courses at the undergraduate level are required prior to beginning graduate courses in Chemical Engineering. In general, those classes can be taken during the student’s first year in graduate school.
Facilities and Special Resources
The program’s research facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories at the Technology Research Center (TRC), the Engineering Building (ENG) and the Interdisciplinary Life Science Building (ILSB). These facilities are extensively equipped with modern fermentation, cell culture, chromatography, microscopy, proteomics and other analytical equipment.
Financial Assistance
Graduate teaching and research assistantships are available to highly qualified candidates through the program.
