Degree Information

Jasper Department of Chemical Engineering

The Department of Chemical Engineering offers a program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering that can be completed through study in Tyler, Texas. 

During a chemical engineering student’s first semester at The University of Texas at Tyler, a college advisor is assigned as the student’s academic advisor to work with the student in planning a program of study to complete degree requirements. Students are encouraged to meet with their advisor throughout the semester and are required to meet with their advisor prior to registering for the next semester or summer session.

To graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering degree, a student must:

• complete the general baccalaureate degree requirements for the university;
• earn a grade of “C” or better in all courses used to meet the degree requirements;
• attempt the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination. A senior may take the FE exam within one year of completing the BSCHE curriculum. The FE exam may be taken more than once, and seniors will be encouraged to take the exam at the earliest opportunity; and
• complete the Chemical Engineering curriculum requirements specified in the following sections.
