Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering programs prepare individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development and operational evaluation of systems at the interface of chemical engineering and biology, with an emphasis at the molecular level, such as biopharmaceutical processes, protein engineering, metabolic engineering, gene therapy, biomaterials, cell and tissue engineering, and drug delivery. Includes instruction in chemical engineering, thermodynamics, organic chemistry, biochemistry, momentum and heat transfer, cellular and molecular biotechnology, process design, and chemical reactor design.

For all the 146 degrees granted in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering per year, the majority of them are Doctors degree research scholarship. Out of the 146 students graduating with degrees at the Bachelors degree level in the US, 51% percent identify as women and 49% percent identify as men. While students at schools all over the US study Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, New York has the most graduates. The average starting salary for an undergraduate degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is $69,800.
