MS ChE
Overview
Graduate ChE courses for the MS Chemical Engineering degree program were offered starting the first semester of the academic year (AY) 1963-1964. Along with other engineering courses, these classes were held in the evening at the then National Science Development Board (NSDB) premises on Pedro Gil (Herran) Street in Manila until they were eventually transferred to take place in the Diliman campus. The revised MS ChE curriculum aims to promote and enhance the graduate students’ knowledge and skills in a variety of areas to strengthen the personal, academic, and research competencies vital to their success in the graduate program. Prospective students may take either the thesis (with 32 units) or the non-thesis (with 37 units) option.
