Chemical Engineering, Accelerated 5-Year Program, B.ChE/MS ChE

The Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering also offers an accelerated five-year program that would enable students to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemical engineering in five (5) years. Students are eligible to apply for the program after they have completed sixty-five (65) credit hours, typically at the end of the sophomore year (with at least 30 credit hours at CSU), and they have shown appropriate progress in their degree program. Once admitted to the combined program, students may complete up to twelve (12) credit hours of graduate courses while enrolled in the undergraduate program. Nine (9) of these credit-hours will count towards both the undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. For more details, please refer to the appropriate pages in the graduate catalog or consult with a program advisor.
