<p>let's say a kid is a chemistry major but in sophomore or junior year he realizes he'd rather be a chemical engineering major. assuming the kid has done well so far how hard would it be for him to transfer into the college of engineering?</p>
<p>also, this question is a bit off topic, but how hard would it be for a chemistry major to find work as a chemical engineer after he graduates?</p>
<p>anybody?????</p>
<p>Much easier to start with ChemE and transfer to Chem. Because of scheduling, certain Engineering courses are only offered during specific semeters.</p>
<p>It would not be hard. Check the chemical engineering website for GPA minimums and required prerequisite courses.</p>
<p>Also, it is very possible to work as a chemical engineer with a chemistry degree, although often you will transition into the roll. The term 'engineer' can loosely be applied to what a lot of chemists do anyway. And you can always get an M.S. in Chemical Engineering after you complete your B.S. in chemistry.</p>
