Welcome to the Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of New Hampshire offers BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Chemical Engineering. At the BS level, all the courses in the department are taught by full-time faculty, and many of our undergraduates are engaged in research and summer internships. Several ChE faculty have received awards both at the university and national levels including awards for teaching excellence.

Departmental options provide our students with an additional opportunity to focus on special areas of interest. Currently, the available options are

At the M.S. and PhD levels, we offer research opportunities in biofuels, biomedical engineering, biochemical engineering, electrochemical engineering, advanced materials,  energy and environmental engineering. Our graduate students are fully supported by teaching or research assistantships.
