Dual Degree in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry

If your primary degree program is in Chemical Engineering, the following changes to the Chemistry curriculum will allow you to obtain dual degrees in Chemical Engineering and in Chemistry.

In addition to the classes required for the Chemical Engineering degree, you must take the following classes:

PHYS 202 , PHYS 261 , and PHYS 262
CHEM 205 , CHEM 254 , CHEM 281 , CHEM 312 , CHEM 314 , CHEM 351 , CHEM 390 , CHEM 466 , CHEM 481 , and CHEM 490
An additional 3-credit advanced (300-level or higher chemistry elective)
A minimum of 30 semester hours are required in addition to the requirements for the Chemical Engineering degree
Students interested in pursuing a dual degree program in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry should contact the Chemistry Program Chair for a curriculum review and detailed requirements about the program.
