Program Description
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering offers programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy and the Master of Science degrees. Graduate programs at Clemson prepare students to apply science and engineering principles to complex problems associated with the chemical, biomolecular and associated industries. Students develop a rigorous fundamental science base coupled with insight into engineering applications. Graduates can become involved in the research, manufacture and use of chemicals, polymers, pharmaceuticals, electronic components, consumer products and petroleum products, to name a few. The department has strong research programs in advanced materials, biotechnology, energy, and chemical and biochemical processing.
Thesis and non-thesis options are available.
Combined BS in Chemical Engineering/MS in Environmental Engineering and Science
Clemson Undergraduate Chemical Engineering majors who have earned a grade-point average of 3.4 or above and completed 90 credit hours can begin work toward a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering and Science while completing a Bachelor of Science degree. The undergraduate curriculum allows up to nine credits of mutually acceptable graduate course credits to satisfy requirements of both degrees. Details are available in the ChBE Undergraduate Handbook, which can be found at www.clemson.edu/ces/chbe.
