Chemical Engineering - Master of Science in Chemical Engineering

The program of study leading to the MS consists of 32 credits which includes:

• required CHME core graduate courses (14 credits);
• CHME elective courses numbered 455-589 (3 credits);
• other graduate elective courses (9 credits); and

Elective courses are intended to supplement the research work of each graduate student. These courses must be numbered 450 or above and must be approved by the thesis advisor.

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.
