| The CBE department offers graduate courses leading to the Ph.D., M.S. and M.E. degrees. Ph.D. students spend the majority of their time carrying out dissertation research. Coursework requirements beyond the first semester are minimal, and students typically become deeply engaged in research in their second semester. The Master's degree reflects mastery of core and specialized areas of chemical/biological engineering, as well as the ability to conduct research on a well-defined problem formulated bu the student's faculty advisor. |
