Overview

The Chemical Engineering program of the University at Buffalo provides an option to gain industrial experience before graduation, and many students conduct research with the Department's award-winning faculty. Combined with your MBA, you can act as a bridge between technical experts and senior management.

The Chemical Engineering BS program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

The curriculum is designed to meet several educational objectives. These program education objectives (PEOs) are broad statements that describe the expected accomplishments of graduates within a few years after graduation. Specific PEOs are that graduates will:

Demonstrate engineering competence, broadly defined.

Demonstrate engineering competence, via promotions and/or advancement to positions of increasing responsibility; via satisfactory progress towards completion of an advanced degree; or via a successful transition from the "traditional" chemical engineering career path into medicine, business, government, education, etc.

Apply engineering and science to bring value to an organization and society.

Show proficiency in the application of engineering and science in the presence of practical and economic constraints to solve problems or generate improvements while demonstrating excellence in ethical standards.

Interact well with a broad range of people.

Grow continuously in the range of people with whom they interact professionally, demonstrating the ability to communicate effectively with and relate well to co-workers at all levels, inside or outside the organization, perhaps involving difficult circumstances. Provide input that enables others to do their job better.

Careers

Any company concerned with the design, production, or use of materials or energy has need for chemical engineers. Consequently, many diverse industries employ chemical engineers. They work in petroleum/energy and chemical production, electronics and battery technology, polymers, nanotechnology, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, food production and processing, biotechnology processes, environmental health and sustainability, and many other areas. BS graduates find employment in production, design, operations, sales, or process development. With further study graduates also move into careers in medicine, law, education, and management. The American Institute of Chemical Engineers and Sloan Career Cornerstone Center have much more detailed information about careers and opportunities.

General requirements

Admission to UB’s freshman class is selective and is based in part on the quality of your secondary school academic record and the number of spaces available in the class

You should feel confident applying to UB if you have an above-average academic record and have taken challenging courses in high school to help prepare you to be successful at university

UB uses a 4.0 grading scale and we expect students applying here to have the equivalent of a 3.0 on that scale. That is the same as a grade of B or 83 on a 100-point scale
