Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Physics
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Physics
Overview
This inter-college combined major serves students who would like to explore their interest in physics while earning the benefit of a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in chemical engineering. Upon completion, the successful student will understand the fundamental physics behind many chemical-based processes, resulting in the ability to design and practice in the field of engineering that deals with the movement of mass, heat transfer, and reactions involved in the processing of various materials.
Innovative Curriculum
This is a five year curriculum that incorporates lab and research participation plus the opportunity to gain real world experiential experience in chemistry, engineering and physics.
Students have the option of selecting from several minors to complement their degree and personalize their path. Students can select from minors in the department, in other engineering departments, or from across the university.
The Accelerated Master’s Degree PlusOne program allows current undergraduate students to accelerate the attainment of the master’s degree by applying graduate credits taken as an undergraduate toward both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Current students apply to enroll in the PlusOne program. Students attain their bachelor’s degree followed by a PlusOne year to complete the master’s degree.
Students currently earning a BS in Chemical Engineering and Physics can select from the PlusOne pathways available for BS in Chemical Engineering students.
Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is the heart of a Northeastern education, combining rigorous coursework with hands-on experience in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field—locally and abroad. With our signature cooperative education (co-op) program, students typically gain six months of work experience integrated as part of the educational program. Both five-year, three-co-op and four-year, two-co-op program options are available.
