Graduate Programs in Chemical Engineering
Explore 200+ Chemical Engineering graduate programs at 100+ universities across 8 countries.
Overview
Chemical engineering turns chemistry, physics and biology into processes that produce fuels, medicines, materials and food at scale. Graduate students study transport phenomena, thermodynamics, reaction engineering and process design, and many research energy, biotechnology or sustainable manufacturing.
A master's deepens technical expertise, with research and course-based options. A PhD prepares you to lead research and development in industry, national laboratories and universities.
Graduates become process engineers, product development engineers, bioprocess engineers and research scientists. Pharmaceuticals and biologics, semiconductors, batteries, hydrogen and carbon capture are areas of active hiring alongside traditional energy and chemical companies.
Most Chemical Engineering programs charge between $16,000 and $67,000 a year in tuition. The top ten ranked programs charge between $13,000 and $68,000.
