Requirements for the Major in Chemical and Molecular Engineering
(Please check the Undergraduate Bulletin for the latest information.)
Acceptance into the Major
Freshman and transfer applicants who have specified their interest in the major in
Chemical and Molecular Engineering may be accepted directly into the major upon admission
to the University. Applicants admitted to the University but not immediately accepted
into the Chemical and Molecular Engineering major may apply for acceptance at any
time during the academic year by contacting the director(s) of the undergraduate program.
Final decisions on admission will be made by the undergraduate program director(s).
Minimum requirements for acceptance are as follows:
1. Students must have a grade of B or higher in all 100-level mathematics, physics
and chemistry courses required by the major. A grade of B- or better is required in
CHE 321, CHE 383 or 327, and CME 304, unless permission to waive is granted by the
undergraduate program director(s).
2. Students must have an overall GPA of 3.2 with not more than one grade of C+ or
lower in any course, unless permission to waive is granted by the undergraduate program
director(s).
3. Department must receive completed course evaluations for all transferred courses
that are to be used to meet requirements of the major. A minimum of one semester,
carrying a full-time load with a minimum of 12 credits in residence at Stony Brook
University is required for all transfer students.
Requirements for the Major
The curriculum begins with a focus on mathematics, physics, and chemistry, followed
by courses covering specific chemical engineering topics as well as an intensive laboratory
sequence. In addition, each student chooses a three-course sequence at the 300 level
or above (four courses if admitted prior to Fall 2012) as an area of specialization
which may also qualify the student for a minor in the respective department. The program culminates
in the submission and acceptance of a senior thesis describing an original research
project completed by the student which is defended at the end of the senior year.
Students are encouraged to select original research projects which can be published
in peer reviewed journals.
Completion of the major requires approximately 100 credits.
