Overview
About the program
The Chemical Engineering program at the University of Pittsburgh is flexible. Its primary emphasis is on innovative and distinctive research on the cutting edge of engineering science.
PhD students here are given independence and responsibility. They are not only encouraged but are expected to develop research ideas, which they propose and defend. They work closely with their research advisers and often participate in a research group attacking relevant engineering problems.
To supplement their research, students take advanced courses in areas related to their research work. Candidates for the PhD achieve a high level of proficiency through this advanced course work and individual study in their research area and related areas.
