MS Chemical Engineering

at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology

Students can choose from either a thesis option, or an non-thesis, executive option for their MS degree. The 30 credit-hour thesis option requires 24 credits of coursework and 6 thesis credits which result in the presentation of an original investigation. The 32 credit non-thesis executive program includes up to 30 credit hours of coursework and at least 2 credit hours of an applied project. In the executive program, which is oriented toward industrial needs, students take at least one course in technology management as part of their required courses for the MS in chemical engineering.
