Requirements for a BS Degree in Chemical Engineering
A program of study encompassing at least one hundred thirty-one (131) semester hours is required for the Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemical Engineering. A candidate for the Bachelor's degree is required to earn a "C" or higher in all engineering courses, and must achieve a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in the forty-five semester hours of Chemical Engineering major courses. In addition, students must achieve a grade of "C-" or higher in all courses transferred into the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. Students should contact the Department for the most up-to-date information concerning the Chemical Engineering curriculum requirements.
There are three majors within the Chemical Engineering Bachelor's degree program. These include Chemical Engineering, Chemical-Materials Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. Most of the curriculum is common to all three majors, and includes topics in liberal studies, mathematics, basic science, computer science, advanced chemistry, general engineering science, and chemical engineering science and design. History/social science and humanities/fine arts electives are to be selected to satisfy the Florida State University liberal studies requirement or the Florida A&M general education requirement. Students in all three majors should successfully complete the following courses in addition to the liberal studies, other University, and College of Engineering requirements:
