Chemical Engineering Degree

Chemical engineers are employed by pharmaceutical, oil, biotechnology, and manufacturing companies. Many colleges and universities now offer online bachelor's and master's degree programs in chemical engineering. Entry-level jobs can be acquired with a bachelor's degree, but those earning a master's degree enhance their job opportunities and learning potential.

Students enrolled in bachelor's degree programs in chemical engineering will be required to complete courses in polymer science, kinetics, thermodynamics, mass theory, chemistry, and math. Students earning master's degrees will conduct original research and complete advanced courses in topics studied while earning a bachelor's degree.
