Graduate Programs
The Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science offers graduate programs in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, and Graduate Certificate Programs in Polymers, and Sustainable Engineering.
Ph.D. & M.S. Program in Chemical Engineering
The graduate program in chemical engineering at Wayne State University is designed to provide students with various opportunities to develop advanced competence in traditional and modern chemical engineering science to solve challenging problems. The program attracts high-quality and enthusiastic students from a variety of backgrounds, such as chemical engineering, (bio)chemistry, biology, polymer engineering, and energy engineering. Active research areas include nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy, product and process systems engineering and sustainable engineering. PhD in Chemical Engineering is a research-oriented degree that prepares students for independent research careers in industry or academia. MS in Chemical Engineering are of two types: a research-oriented degree that prepares students for a variety of career paths, and a course-work based degree that provides students with added depth in the technical aspects of the field and breadth through accomplishing elective courses.
