The Master of Science in Chemical Engineering at the Jacobs School of Engineering, UC San Diego, is designed to deepen and expand students’ knowledge beyond the undergraduate level, with an emphasis on both traditional chemical engineering and interdisciplinary fields like nanotechnology. The program covers fundamental chemical engineering, including core courses and research project or comprehensive exam options. It prepares graduates for professional practice or continued research and doctoral study. The curriculum is research-driven and encourages multidisciplinary innovation. Students may choose between the Thesis Plan (requiring a research project and defense) or the Comprehensive Exam Plan (focused on coursework and a final exam). 来源： https://cne.ucsd.edu/graduate-programs
