Chemical Engineering - Master of Engineering in Chemical Engineering

The ME is a 30 credit hour coursework and/or project-based degree with flexibility of program design for professionals seeking advanced coursework in chemical engineering.  Individual degree plans are based on consultation between the student and their advisor.  ME requirements are as follows:

¹

Students will define and execute an engineering project through their employer while taking the following 3-semester course sequence.

This may replace 6 credit hours of CHME coursework.  

¹

Students are expected to take a minimum of 15 credits of open electives from any areas such as chemical engineering, other engineering, business, economics, fundamental sciences, environmental sciences, etc., to be be consistent with their personal ME theme or emphasis.

²

Students interested in a Chemical Process Industries emphasis may replace 6 credits of courses with the following sequence: CHME 595 Chemical Process Design and Business Analysis, CHME 596 Chemical Process Industries Research, CHME 597 Advanced Chemical Process Industry Analysis.

MAP Requirements

• The Graduate School allows qualified junior or senior students to substitute its graduate courses for required or elective courses in an undergraduate degree program and then subsequently count those same course as fulfilling graduate requirements in a related graduate program.
• Undergraduate students may apply for acceptance to the accelerated master’s program after completing 60 semester hours of undergraduate coursework of which a minimum of 25 semester credit hours must be completed at NMSU.
• The grade point average must be at a minimum of 2.75.

Students must receive a grade of B or higher in this coursework to be counted for graduate credit. If a grade of B- or lower is earned, it will not count toward the graduate degree.

Accepted MAP Courses

The following courses are accepted for use in the MAP program. Other courses may be considered after a consultation with the program advisor.
