General Information

Admissions Information

Admissions Requirements

Student must be a University of Arizona PhD student.

 

Completion Requirements

Minimum Credit Units

9 

Core Coursework Requirements

With the exception of students who are also majoring in Chemical Engineering, at least six of the nine required units must come from the following core courses of the Chemical Engineering graduate program:

• CHEE 502—Advanced Engineering Analysis (3 units)
• CHEE 505—Advanced Chemical Engineering Transport Phenomena (3 units)
• CHEE 506—Advanced Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics (3 units)
• CHEE 530—Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering (3 units)

Minimum GPA in core coursework is 3.0/4.0

 

Elective Coursework

The other three units must come from courses in the previous or the following list:

• CHEE 500R—Water Chemistry for Engineers* (3 units)
• CHEE 512—Electrochemical Engineering (4 units)
• CHEE 514—Sustainable Water Supplies for Remote Communities (4 units)
• CHEE 520—Chemical Reaction Engineering (3 units)
• CHEE 525—Emerging Issues in Water Quality (3 units)
• CHEE 537—Surface Science (3 units)
• CHEE 542—Bioremediation on Inorganic Contaminants (2 units)
• CHEE/ATMO 569A—Air Pollution I: Gases (3 units)
• CHEE/ATMO 569B—Air Pollution II: Aerosols (3 units)
• CHEE 572—Interfacial Chemistry of Biomolecules in Environmental Systems (3 units)
• CHEE 574—Fate and Transport Processes in Environmental Engineering* (3 units)
• CHEE 575—Water Treatment System Design* (3 units)
• CHEE 576—Wastewater Treatment System Design* (3 units)
• CHEE 577R—Microbiology for Engineers* (3 units)
• CHEE 578—Introduction to Hazardous Waste Management (3 units)
• CHEE 581A—Engineering of Biological Processes (3 units)
• CHEE 581B—Cell and Tissue Engineering (3 units)
• CHEE 582—Analysis of Emerging Environmental Contaminants (3 units)
• CHEE 583—Intro to Polymeric Materials (3 units)
• CHEE 587—Topics in Transport Phenomena (3 units)
• CHEE 589—Trends in Nanomedicine Engineering: Fundamentals of Therapeutics and Drug Delivery Systems (3 units)

 

* If the student minoring in Chemical Engineering is majoring in Environmental Engineering, this elective cannot be used for the minor because it is a required course for the major in Environmental Engineering.

Chemical Engineering PhD students who also minor in Chemical Engineering will take nine (9) units of elective Chemical Engineering courses that are not part of the Chemical Engineering core requirements to complete the minor.

 

 

Additional Requirements

There are no additional requirements for the minor in Chemical Engineering.
