Overview

What is Chemical Engineering?

Using the principles of mathematics, chemistry, physics and engineering sciences, Villanova Chemical Engineering students learn to transform and properly use chemicals and energy to produce almost anything. In the Chemical Engineering program of Villanova University you will be taught to creatively solve relevant technical problems arising in industries that manufacture bulk chemicals, fuels, pharmaceuticals, cell therapies, plastics, cosmetics, foods and much more. These solutions must respond to economic constraints as well as social, ethical, environmental and safety implications.
