Degrees & Programs

Chemical Engineering: Dual Degree Cooperative Program with Washington University in St. Louis

This program is intended for students interested in obtaining a B.A. in Chemistry (from SLU) and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering (from Washington University, Saint Louis).
The degrees have a dual nature. They are recognized in Spain (our Madrid campus is the only U.S. University recognized by the Consejería de Educación y Cultura, the higher education authority of Madrid's provincial government) and the U.S.
Chemistry academic courses are offered in English in Saint Louis Madrid campus. Spanish and international students normally enroll in our intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) program during their first year of study.

Why Consider Chemical Engineering Major?
Chemical engineering is about transformation. It's about gaining fundamental knowledge about a substance, then by using that knowledge you can come up with a solution to an important medical, mechanical, or societal need. Our chemical engineering undergraduates study the use of scientific discoveries to modern technologies and novel products that benefit society; they also learn how to minimize the impact to the environment. Modern and well-equipped laboratories emphasize experimental methods and measurement techniques.
The Chemistry curriculum is professionally accredited by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Aerospace Engineering curriculum is also professionally accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and technology (EAC of ABET).

Program Educational Objectives

The chemical Engineering program has been developed with the following objectives:

•  To prepare students to pursue scientific and technical careers beginning with entry-level chemical engineering positions in industry or government.
• Pursue continuing education through graduate studies in related engineering fields, as well as law, business, or management.
• Fill the needs of society in solving technical problems using engineering principles, tools, and practices.

Unique Features of this Program

• Chemical Engineering is a dual degree program of three years in collaboration with Washington University. It requires course work in Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science, and Arts subjects. The curriculum includes a concentration of courses in Chemistry, including lecture courses as well as laboratory-oriented activities.
• Freshman students start by gaining a broad basis in Science and General Arts subjects.
• A majority of the faculty members have terminal degrees in Chemistry, and are performing cutting-edge research in this area.
• The degree awarded at the end of this career B.A. in Chemistry and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering
• The degree is accredited by the ACS and ABET.
