Chemical Engineering
Undergraduate Education
Students who are interested in more than one
program offered by the College may want to work
on two bachelor’s degrees concurrently.
The most common second degrees for Chemical
Engineering students are Materials Science and
Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and
Electrical Engineering, but dual degrees with
other departments can be arranged in
consultation with both program advisors.
Students who have a strong desire to
continue their chemistry studies as they
complete a chemical engineering degree have the
option of pursuing simultaneous degrees in
Chemical Engineering and Chemistry.
For more information, please visit http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/cheme/ugoffice/dualdeg.html
The following programs are available for
chemical engineering students interested in
pursuing joint BSE and MSE and MEng
degrees. For more information, please
visit http://www.engin.umich.edu/dept/cheme/ugoffice/combinedbsms.html
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.S.E. in Biomedical Engineering
This SGUS program is open to all
undergraduate students from Chemical
Engineering who have achieved senior standing
(85 credit hours or more), and have an overall
cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher. Please contact
the Department of Biomedical Engineering for
more complete program information.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.S.E. in Chemical Engineering
A University of Michigan undergraduate with
a GPA of 3.5 or greater may apply, after
completing the first term of the junior year, for admission to the departmental SGUS combined
degree program leading to both the
baccalaureate and master’s degrees. Up to
9 hours of prior approved elective coursework
may be applied toward both degrees (typically
leading to a total of 128 for the B.S.E. plus
30 for the M.S.E.) for 149 total credit hours.
The 9 double counted elective credits must be
acceptable for Rackham credit. The 21 chemical
engineering graduate credits may include up to
6 hours of ChemE 698 (directed study or
practical training under faculty supervision), or ChemE 695 (research). Please contact the
Department of Chemical Engineering for more
complete program information.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.S.E. in Environmental and Water Resources
Engineering
The program is open to all Chemical
Engineering undergraduate students, who have
completed 75 or more credit hours, with a
cumulative GPA of at least 3.5. Students who do
not meet the GPA requirement may petition the
Civil and Environmental Engineering Graduate
Committee for admission. Please contact the
Environmental and Water Resources Engineering
Program Office in the Civil and Environmental
Engineering department for more complete
program information.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.S.E. in Industrial Operations
Engineering
Non-IOE engineering students pursue the IOE
master’s degree for a number of reasons.
Some students use it as the first step toward
the IOE Ph.D. degree. Other students pursue the
degree to expand their knowledge base in order
to enhance their qualifications for
professional engineering careers. Among this
group, most students select their courses in
order to specialize in one of several
traditional IOE areas. Applicants must have a
minimum GPA of 3.5.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.S.E. in Macromolecular Science and
Engineering
The Master's in Macromolecular Science and
Engineering degree is a 30-credit program.
There are several specializations or options
from which to choose. A 3.2 GPA is required to
apply for this program.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.Eng. in Manufacturing Engineering
The Master of Engineering in Manufacturing
(M.Eng. in Mfg.) degree is an interdisciplinary
30-credit program. This is a professional
practice-oriented degree designed to further
the education of engineers who already have
experienced working in industry and plan to
return to an industrial environment after
completing their studies. The degree
requirements can be completed in one calendar
year (12 months). The M.Eng. in
Mfg. combines course work from various
engineering disciplines (80%) and business
(20%). Applicants to this program must have
completed 80 or more credits of course work
with a GPA of 3.6 or better.
B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering/
M.Eng. in Pharmaceutical Engineering
This five-year B.S.E. in Chemical
Engineering and M.Eng. in Pharmaceutical
Engineering program allows qualified
undergraduate chemical engineering students to
complete the practical training but receive a
B.S.E. and M.Eng. degrees simultaneously within
five years. The Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)
degree is intended to focus more on
professional practice than the traditional
Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.)
degree. A GPA of 3.5 is required.
The Engineering Global Leadership Honors
Program (EGL) allows students to complement
their chemical engineering background with
courses in the School of Business
Administration, and global-focused courses in
LS & A. The program produces students
capable of communicating across the engineering
and business boundary of operating comfortably
in another culture. The program leads to
two degrees; a BSE ChE and an MSE ChE
degree. There is no double counting of
credits.

Candidates for the Bachelor of Science
degree in Engineering (Chemical
Engineering) — B.S.E (Ch.E.) —
must complete the program listed above.
This sample schedule is an example of one
leading to graduation in eight terms.
Notes:
1If you have a satisfactory
score or grade in Chemistry AP, A-Level, IB
Exams or transfer credit from another
institution for Chemistry 130/125/126 you
will have met the Chemistry Core
Requirement for CoE.
2If you have a satisfactory
score or grade in Physics AP, A-Level, IB Exams or transfer credit from another
institution for Physics 140/141 and/or
240/241 you will have met the Physics
Core Requirement for CoE.
3See
department for list of courses that satisfy
the Biology/Life Science elective
requirement.
4Technical
electives must include a minimum of 2
credits of engineering elective, with the
other 4 credits coming from engineering
electives, advanced science, or advanced
math courses. See department for list of
courses that meet the engineering
electives, advanced science and advanced
math requirements. At least one course must
be outside of Chemical Engineering.
Engineering courses are to be at the
200-level or higher. Courses in AOSS are
not considered engineering courses for this
purpose. See department for other
exceptions.
(+) Students must earn a "C-" or better
in prerequisite courses indicated by the
(+).
All concentrations consist of 12
credits, and must include at least one 300-
or 400-level course. Only technical and
free electives can be used as part of a
concentration. Students may
not earn a concentration in a field in
which they are also enrolled for a dual
degree. See Dr. Montgomery for
approval of other electives.
