Aspiring to get an M.S. in Chemical Engineering

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the pathway to obtaining a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering for individuals with a background in Chemistry and Mathematics. The participant has an A.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Mathematics, along with experience in an analytical lab. To prepare for a master's program, it is essential to review the specific "deficiency courses" required by various chemical engineering programs, which typically amount to 12-18 semester hours of junior and senior level courses in chemical engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • A.S. in Chemistry
  • B.S. in Mathematics
  • Understanding of general and organic chemistry
  • Familiarity with engineering principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific chemical engineering programs and their deficiency course requirements
  • Identify and enroll in junior and senior level chemical engineering courses
  • Explore resources on preparing for graduate-level engineering studies
  • Connect with current students or alumni from chemical engineering programs for insights
USEFUL FOR

Aspiring chemical engineers, students transitioning from other disciplines, and professionals seeking to enhance their qualifications in the field of chemical engineering.

I have an A.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Mathematics and I am considering trying to earn a master's degree in chemical engineer. After working for an analytical lab for six months in sample receipt and prep I have spent a lot of time trying to find ways to improve my career. I understand that there is most likely a lot of work and time that I will have to put into achieve this goal, but I was wondering what I can do to properly prepare myself. I have taken general and organic chemistry and one freshman level engineering class. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have a look at the websites of some chemical engineering programs you are interested in. They usually have a list of "deficiency courses" for graduates with degrees in other majors that need to be completed to study for and earn a masters degree in chemical engineering.

With your background, I would guess you would be asked to take about 12-18 semester hours of junior & senior level chemical engineering courses as part of your program.
