MS Program core courses*

Graduate-level elective classes counting towards MS degrees

The elective courses listed below are organized according three areas that roughly map onto different concentrations offered within our program; only syllabi for courses registered with CHEN designators or cross-listed with Chemical Engineering are provided here. A complete list of courses for each concentration can be found here. There is no guarantee that these courses will be taught every year, although most of them are taught on a yearly or biannual basis. Also note that there are many other graduate-level courses not shown here, including many in other departments, that can fulfill elective requirements.  See the Columbia Directory of Classes for the most up-to-date listings of courses offered through Chemical Engineering and other departments throughout SEAS and Columbia University.
