The undergraduate program is designed to be completed in 4 years. It is very important to follow the sample program as closely as possible, as nearly all CHBE classes are only offered once a year. All ChBE majors must participate in an advising session prior to registering each semester. Students are assigned a faculty advisor at the start of their first semester in the major.
Courses appearing in bold are offered by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
