Although students do not need to be enrolled in the chemical engineering major to be admitted, the MS programs will expect a level of substantive competency equivalent to the completion of the following courses:

• Thermodynamics (CHEM_ENG 211-0 Thermodynamics preferred, or equivalent)
• Fluid mechanics (CHEM_ENG 321-0 Fluid Mechanics or equivalent)
• Heat or mass transfer (CHEM_ENG 322-0 Heat Transfer or CHEM_ENG 323-0 Mass Transfer, or equivalent)
• Kinetics/reaction engineering (CHEM_ENG 307-0 Kinetics and Reactor Engineering)
