Chemical Engineering Practice

Department of Chemical Engineering

Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Practice

The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Practice (MS CEP) requires two semesters of graduate-level courses at MIT and one semester at the field stations of the Practice School, under the direction of resident MIT staff. Credit for the Practice School semester is accepted in lieu of a master’s thesis.

Coursework consists of a core curriculum, two additional required courses, and electives. All chemical engineering graduate students must take the core curriculum and required courses, regardless of their degree objective. The electives may be chosen from outside the department to support students' particular interests.
