Students have several options in pursuing a Masters’ degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering here:

  1. Essay-based MSE: A research-intensive MSE in which students take six 3-credit graduate-level courses and undertake original research. The end product of the research is in the form of an MSE Essay submitted to the university and a presentation open to the department. (See “Essay-Based Students” below for more details.) This option typically takes four semesters and the intervening summer to complete. It can be shorter for students who began working on their research project while an undergraduate at Hopkins (see “Combined BS/MSE Program and Students with BS in ChemBE from Johns Hopkins” below for more details) or for students who do their research through the INBT Co-op Program (see “INBT Industry Co-Op Program” below for more details).
  2. Course-based MSE: A coursework-only degree in which students take ten 3-credit graduate-level courses (see “All Students’ Course Requirements” below for more details). This option typically takes three semesters to complete. It can be shorter for students who began taking graduate-level courses while an undergraduate at Hopkins (see “Combined BS/MSE Program and Students with BS in ChemBE from Johns Hopkins” below for more details).
  3. Design-based MSE: Similar to the essay-based MSE track (and classified as a subset of such), except 3–4 semesters of Product Design are taken in addition to the six other graduate-level courses, and the end product is a written report and a presentation open to the department (see “Chemical Product Design Track (Design-based MSE)” below for more details). Please contact Prof. Chao Wang for more details and to enroll prior to registration in your first semester (~July 20).
    *The Design-Based MSE option is not being offered for the Academic Year 2023-2024.

Students can also pursue a Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM), administered through the Center for Leadership Education (CLE), combining courses in ChemBE with those in management. (See this page for more details.)
