<p>Anyone here do this? How much longer did it take to finish a MS degree than a typical chemical engineering student? How many remedial classes did you have to go through?</p>
<p>And is it possible to enter top grad programs or do they usually take only chem engineering students? Anyone know any schools that have post-bac programs where a student can enter and take engineering classes?</p>
<p>I’m actually thinking of the same thing.</p>
<p>I don’t know too much, but what I do know is that you’ll prolly have to take some Math/Engineering classes before you can start on your masters. So it will probably take you 2-3 years to finish it.</p>
<p>Usually, you will have to take a year-long crash course in the bachelor’s level chemical engineering before you start the master’s level courses.</p>
<p>It will take a lot longer. Most graduate programs require 6-7 core classes in addition to your electives/research. Since you don’t have a ChemE background, you won’t have the necessary prerequisites for the core classes.</p>
<p>As always, it really depends on your adviser/program but most programs will require you to take a semester or two of undergraduate classes to catch up. </p>
<p>You’ll need at the very least: Thermo, Transport Phenomena, Numerical Methods/Math Class, Reactor Class, Statistics, Transport Processes.</p>
