Overview
The University of Wisconsin-Superior and the University of Minnesota Duluth have partnered to deliver the Chemistry Major and Chemical Engineering Dual Degree. The program allows you to take introductory chemical engineering coursework at UW-Superior – where class sizes are generally smaller and more intimate – and then transfer to the University of Minnesota Duluth to complete more advanced studies.
Two
Degrees
Earn a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering at the same time
Two
Universities
Benefit from the best of what both UMD and UWS have to offer.
3 + 2
Three years of coursework at UW-Superior followed by another two at University of Minnesota Duluth.
What You’ll Learn
In this program, you will pursue two degrees with approximately three years’ worth of coursework at UW-Superior followed by another two at the University of Minnesota Duluth. UW-Superior’s Bachelor of Science in chemistry is designed to facilitate a credit transfer and provide a smooth transition to earn a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at the University of Minnesota Duluth. Because of local demand for chemical engineers, the program has partnered with local companies to provide hands-on, real-life learning experiences to students enrolled in the program. The dual degree program is designed to provide:
- Direct industry experience
- The foundations and principles of chemistry
- A mathematical lens to analyze complex problems
- An advanced knowledge of physics and mechanics
- A thorough understanding of the central tenets of engineering
Program Outcomes/Career opportunities
Chemical engineering has a surging job demand. Over the next decade, employment of chemical engineers is expected to grow by 14%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. By applying principles of chemistry, physics and engineering, chemical engineers have traditionally been the backbone of the industrial economy. However, as technology expands to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world, chemical engineers are slated be at the forefront of increasingly important nanotechnology, alternative energy and biotechnology. The largest employers of chemical engineers include:
- Research and development in the physical, engineering and life sciences
- Engineering services
- Pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing
- Wholesale trade
- Petroleum and coal products manufacturing
