The College of Engineering - Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering Graduate Program
The Chemical Engineering Department at Rowan University offers a MS in Engineering with the Specialization in Chemical Engineering. The graduate program emphasizes project management skills and industrially relevant research; that prepares students and working engineers for successful careers in high-tech fields.
Unique Features of the Program:
• State of the Art Facilities
• Part time and full time tracks
• Thesis and Non-thesis options
• Graduate Research funding opportunities
• Interaction with industrial partners and State and Federal Agencies
• Real-World engineering research projects and thesis
The Chemical Engineering Department offers two-degree options; thesis and non-thesis. Each option requires the student to complete 30 semester hours of approved credits beyond the baccalaureate degree. Students with a non-chemical engineering degree may be requested to complete additional coursework or independent study and should consult with the chemical engineering graduate program coordinator. Students receiving financial support from the University are required to enroll in and successfully complete the thesis route. Only part-time and self-supporting students will have the option of enrolling in the non-thesis option.
The program of study (30-credits) is available with the following options:
Thesis Option: 
• 1 Approved Graduate Business Course: 3 Cr
• 1 Approved Graduate Math Course: 3 Cr
• 3-4 Approved ChE Graduate Electives:9-12 Cr
• 1-2 Approved Graduate Electives: 3-6 Cr
• MTS Thesis Research: 9 Cr
TOTAL: 30-Cr
Course-only Option:
• 1-Approved Graduate Business Course: 3-Cr
• 1-Approved Graduate Math Course: 3-Cr
• 6-Approved ChE Graduate Electives: 18-Cr
• 2-Approved Graduate Electives: 6-Cr
TOTAL: 30-Cr
The above 2 options show the recomended courses of the chemical engineering program. The selection of specific courses for the Thesis option must be approved of thestudent's assigned thesis advisor.
Graduate Student Financial Assistance
Financial assistance for fulltime graduate students is available in the form of tuition scholarships and stipends. The amount of financial aid available varies each semester. Applicants applying for funding should contact the chemical engineering graduate program coordinator.
Full time Students who are funded for graduate study with research assistantships are required to elect the Thesis Option. The typical timeline for completion of the graduate requirements for said students is 18 months.
