Introduction to Clemson ChBE (PDF)
The undergraduate program in chemical engineering includes a blend of classroom and laboratory instruction to prepare students for professional practice, leadership, and lifelong learning.
Chemical Engineering combines four important areas: chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics while focusing on the engineering and processing of materials, synthesis, and purification.
Receiving an education in Chemical Engineering at Clemson University will prepare you for many fields. Alphabetically, these include:
Chemical Engineering Curriculum
Chemical Engineering Course Descriptions
Chemical Engineering (BMOL) Curriculum
Biomolecular Engineering Course Descriptions
We have designated nine hours for student-chosen emphasis areas. Six emphasis areas have been outlined by the department.
Students may apply these nine hours toward any minor at Clemson, with the exception of Chemistry and Cluster minors. The Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department is one of few departments on campus that gives this option.
There are many opportunities for students outside the classroom.

The average starting salary for ChBE B.S graduates is $70,000.
Here are some important statistics regarding post-graduation choices by ChBE graduates:
Approximately 207 students are majoring in chemical engineering. Small class sizes facilitate student/faculty interactions. The student-to-faculty ratio is only 15. Often, students take multiple courses together and frequently work in teams.
The Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria.
