<p>I was looking on the duke website but couldn't find any chemical engineering degrees???? does this mean there isn't a chem E program? yiikes</p>
<p>Yes, no chem engineering. Pratt only has</p>
<p>1) Biomed E
2) Civil & Environmental E
3) Electrical & Computer E
4) Mech E</p>
<p>Why should every school have chem E? There aren't enough chem E jobs to support every engineering school having such a department. If you want ChemE, try other schools like GaTech, U of DE, etc that have good ChemE programs.</p>
<p>No ChemE. However, you can major in something like Chemistry and go to grad school for ChemE. There's not much reason to get an undergrad in ChemE if you don't have a master's in it anyway...</p>
<p>^Wrong. Chemistry and ChemE are two very different majors. ChemEs don't need master degrees any more than EE or ME.</p>
<p>Well, okay, I'll give you that it's not strictly required. However, most of the people I've met here want to get the best job possible with their degree. For engineering majors, that generally requires a masters degree. Talk to any engineer who works in the industry - we've had plenty come to campus and give panel discussion. They all say that while 10-20 years ago most people found good jobs after undergrad, now everything's changing. The jobs they themselves once got fresh out of undergrad are still available to "all," but so many of the applicants have masters degrees that it's getting increasingly difficult to find a good job without a masters yourself.</p>
<p>Because of that, I have many friends who are graduating/did graduate from Duke with a BS in Chemistry and will be going/did go on to a ChemE grad program.</p>
