The above curriculum is for students who enter the B.S.Ch.E.: Process Engineering program in 2003-2004 or later (either by admission to UNR directly into the B.S.Ch.E. program or by official transfer from another program at UNR). For students who entered the B.S.Ch.E. program prior to 2003-2004, your advisor can furnish you a copy of your course requirements.

For prerequisites and corequisites, see the current Catalog. When CHE 232 is listed as a prerequisite, satisfaction of the prerequisite requires a grade of C or higher in CHE 232.

All students must see their assigned advisor and obtain a signed Official Advisement Form each semester. All electives must be approved by the assigned advisor.

In addition to the university's general graduation requirement of a minimum 2.0 grade-point average, degree candidates must maintain at least a 2.0 average in all chemical engineering courses.

All students must take the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination administered by the Nevada State Board of Professional Engineers.
