Master of Science in Chemical Engineering

The Master's program in Chemical Engineering at UMass Amherst gives students the independent research experience necessary to be competitive for the best jobs in the Chemical Engineering industry. The average time to degree completion for our MS students is currently 1.5 years. The first semester is focused on coursework and will evolve into independent research guided by a faculty advisor.

While we cannot guarantee placement with a specific advisor at the time of application, all of our MS students thus far have been placed in their top-choice lab, and we will do our best to match student interests with available faculty.

Please note that the department does not provide tuition or stipend support for students in the Master's program. There may be some financial resources that you can find at UMass or beyond to help overcome a financial burden. Please investigate the University's Financial Aid Services website and its page for graduate students. You may also be able to search current and upcoming on-campus job opportunities via the Student Employment Office.

Students are assigned space in the Graduate Hub in Marcus Hall.
