- Generally, students who transfer into the program do not go back and take C&PE 111. However, they need to make up the hours with 1 additional hour of engineering elective and 1 additional hour of MSEHS (Math, Science, Engineering, Humanities, or Social Science).
- Students who are exempt from ENGL 101 do not need to make up the hours with another course.
- CHEM 130 and 135 are acceptable substitutes for CHEM 170 and 175.
- HSES and other activity courses do not count for hours towards graduation.
- Students will satisfy KU CORE Goal 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, 3N, 5, and 6 with completion of the Math, Science, Communication, English, and Engineering courses required for the degree.
- Students must select approved courses to satisfy the Goal 3H, 3S, 4.1, 4.2 requirements. Students will not graduate without meeting the requirements for the KU CORE.
- C&PE courses are only offered 1 time a year in the semester in which they are shown. Failure to take the Math, Science, English, and C&PE courses in the order shown may delay graduation by at least 1 year.
- Chemical engineering students must earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA in C&PE 211, C&PE 221, and C&PE 325 in order to progress to C&PE 511, C&PE 512, C&PE 524, or C&PE 525. The cumulative GPA is calculated using the highest grade earned in each course.
- Chemical engineering students must earn a cumulative 2.0 GPA in C&PE 511, C&PE 512,C&PE 522, C&PE 524, C&PE 525 in order to progress to C&PE 611, C&PE 613, C&PE 615, C&PE 616, C&PE 624, or C&PE 626. The cumulative GPA is calculated using the highest grade earned in each course.
- Students who fulfill Goal 4.2 by international status or an experience need to make up the 3 hours with 3 hours of MSEHS (Math, Science, Engineering, Humanities, or Social Science).
- Students planning on completing an emphasis (Biomedical, Environmental, Materials Science, Petroleum, or Premedical) may have specific advanced science and engineering elective courses that are required for completion of the emphasis. Please see the emphasis pages for a detailed description of the specific requirements.
Below are the specific requirements for different emphases available in chemical engineering. The courses listed are
required for completion of the emphasis. The column next to the course number indicates if the course will also count
towards an advanced science or engineering elective requirement for the B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering.
