Master of Science [M.S] [Chemical Engineering] From University of Arkansas

The graduate degree is not intended to be restrictive by forcing the student to specialize, but will broaden the graduate’s intellectual abilities and enhance opportunities in research, teaching, management, and general engineering practice. The student’s goals for pursuing an advanced degree, including preferences for a research topic, are given primary consideration in the preparation of the course of study. The student’s advisory committee will assist in the definition of a diversified program to ensure competence as a practicing engineer.

Primary Areas of Faculty Research: Biological systems and food science; biomaterials; Chemical Hazards Research Center; chemical process safety; fate of pollutants in the environment; Integrated Petroleum Environmental Consortium; material science for microelectronics; chemical and biochemical separations; mixing in chemical processes; petroleum processing; space sciences; supercritical fluids; and life cycle analysis.
