Faculty in our department focus their research in nine core areas encompassing biological, environmental, and educational research. Our department offers an undergraduate course of study leading to a B.S. in Chemical Engineering through three tracks of study: (i) Traditional Track, (ii) Biotechnology and Bioengineering Track and (iii) Environmental Engineering and Sustainability track. We also offer both M.S. and Ph.D. degrees through two different graduate programs. Details can be found on our website: http://www.umbc.edu/cbe
