Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering

Help produce essential items with a chemical engineering degree

Chemical engineers are involved in every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat to the medicine we take to stay alive and the gas we put into our vehicles. As part of the Bachelor of Science in the chemical engineering program at Trine University, you will follow in the footsteps of some of the nation’s top chemical engineers.

The experience: Distinguished faculty prepare you for success

Guided by faculty with engineering work experiences from industry-leading companies such as BP Biofuels, Pfizer, Shell Oil, and Koch Industries with doctorates from Yale, Rice, Michigan State, and Northwestern universities, you will benefit from a truly exceptional experience. Faculty ensure you will obtain the skills and preparation needed to be successful in your future professional and academic career.

From the start of your time at Trine, you will be immersed in the close-knit atmosphere of the program. You will be invited on plant trips, exposed to professional and academic speakers, paired with an industrial mentor, and given the opportunity to compete in national competitions or perform undergraduate research. All seniors are given the opportunity to attend the AIChE National Conference at a reduced cost.

Ninety-six percent of domestic graduates over the past five years have industry-related work experience through professional internships or co-ops prior to graduation.

It’s easy to talk about excellence . But it’s another thing altogether to truly commit yourself to it each and every day. To live it. To inspire it in everything around you. At Trine University, this commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You’ll see it, and you’ll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana. Few schools can say they’ve been getting it done at such a high level for nearly 130 years. We can.

A Commitment to Excellence

From our programs to our faculty, to our facilities, to the positive impact our work has on communities everywhere, we set our standards at Trine just a little higher. We can’t help it. It’s who we are. It’s why U.S. News & World Report and the Princeton Review consistently rank us among the Midwest’s best universities, and it’s why more than 1,900 companies around the world seek out our graduates.

An Innovative Spirit

Innovation is in our DNA at Trine. It always has been. In fact, the modern-day golf ball was patented by a Trine graduate. Our students enjoy an active and engaging learning experience, winning national awards for the hands-on work they accomplish. We’ve invested more than $8 million in the Division of Innovation and Technology. And we recently unveiled a new, high-tech Project Based Learning Center for Excellence.
