Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. The BS program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. As permitted under the ABET guidelines, we continually update our undergraduate programs to include the latest advances in chemical and biomolecular engineering. Such modifications will enable us to offer the best possible educational experience to our undergraduates. For the latest chemical engineering educational programs, potential applicants are referred to our website.

The information below describes the academic requirements for students entering JHU as degree-seeking students in Fall 2024.  Students who entered JHU as degree-seeking students prior to Fall 2024 should view the appropriate archived catalogue.

Students must meet the University requirements and the Whiting School of Engineering requirements (see Requirements for a Bachelor's Degree in this catalogue), as well as the departmental major requirements, to complete a bachelor’s degree.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering requires 128 credits. 

The ChemBE department recognizes students with exemplary academic records by awarding Department Honors to students with a Grade Point Average of 3.60 or higher in the following 12 courses:  ChemBE Core Courses (except EN.540.101),  Product Design, and Senior Lab. If the two-semester Product Design option was selected, both the courses will count towards the GPA calculation.

Accreditation Statement

The BS program in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Chemical, Biochemical, Biomolecular, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Program Education Objectives 

Recent graduates of the ChemBE program will within a few years of graduation:

  • succeed in careers in industrial, academic or government organizations in which they apply their chemical and biomolecular engineering skills to solve diverse long-standing or emerging problems
  • excel in their graduate program, medical school, or other professional education
  • be recognized as future leaders in their chosen field (4) perpetuate the JHU legacy of passion for learning, technical excellence, community service, and research innovation to foster knowledge creation, lead discovery, and impact society.

Student Outcomes

At the completion of the BS in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering program, our graduates demonstrate:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.

3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.

4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.

5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.

6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.

7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
