Programme overview

Main Subject

Degree

MDiv

Study Level

PHD

A minimum of 72 graduate credits must be earned for the Ph.D. degree. A minimum of 24 credits of this must be coursework. The ChE coursework requirements include 13 credits of chemical engineering core courses ChE 545, 554, 583, and 587, GR ST 565, ChE 698, and three graduate or nonmajor elective courses, at least one of which needs to be a 600-level course. These three elective courses will be decided together by the student and the POSC, depending upon the research area of the student and can be within ChE or outside. The Graduate College requires that the topics of independent study credits (ChE 590/690) applied to the POS be indentified on the POS form and approved by the Committee. Coursework for the Ph.D. degree must include at least 6 credits taken outside of the CBE department. This outside work may include a declared minor, in which case the student must meet any requirements set by the department administering the minor. Many students will take more coursework than the minimum listed above to improve identified deficiencies or to achieve special needs that relate to their research. The student?s POS committee will determine these courses. Students without undergraduate or graduate degrees in ChE must meet the same additional requirements specified for the M.S. degree. Area(s) of Emphasis includes Biochemical Engineering, Bioinformatics, Biomedical Engineering, Biorenewables, Polymeric Materials, Nanotechnology, Tissue and Metabolic Engineering, Interfacial Chemistry and Catalysis, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Electrochemical Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Statistical Process Control.
