Chemical Engineering Graduate Major (MEng, MS, PhD)
This program is available at the following location:
- Corvallis
The School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering offers graduate programs leading to the Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. All programs are tailored to individual student needs and professional goals. A diversity of faculty interests, broadened and reinforced by cooperation between the school and other engineering departments and schools and research centers on campus, makes tailored individual programs possible. The school originates and encourages programs ranging from those that are classically chemical engineering to those that are distinctly interdisciplinary.
