<p>If I were to get a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering, is it foreseeable for me to go on to get a master's or a PhD in Chemistry? I want to do the math and physics involved in ChemE and have good prospects in terms of employment, but I'm also very interested in pure Chemistry, and very interested to see if this would be an option. Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes. I’ve seen much weirder things happen. I.E one of my previous TAs went from a B.S in philosophy to a grad program in ME.</p>
<p>As far as transitions go, it’s relatively painless. You’ll probably need a bit of chemistry and a bit of equipment coursework, but you already get 90% of it as a ChemE.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input! That gives me a lot of reinforcement for my decision to major in chemical engineering, at least to start off.</p>
<p>Just to chime in, ChemE is a great choice. I was a pure Chemistry major and there weren’t too many job opportunities for me after graduating. The ChemE’s at my school had a wide array of opportunities.</p>
<p>I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to go into a PhD program in Chemistry with a ChemE degree, but check with your advisor to see what courses you would need to take. Also, make sure you do some science research for PhD programs.</p>
