One of the oldest chemical engineering
departments in the United States, our
program has granted about 750 doctoral degrees
and more than 880 master's degrees since it was
founded in 1905. Alumni are active and influential
in academic institutions and the chemical industry
throughout the world. The strong demand for our
graduates by both industrial and academic employers
reflects both the merits of our students and the superior
reputation of our program. Historically, over
one-fifth of our PhD graduates obtain faculty positions,
and UW is represented on the faculties of top
chemical engineering departments nationwide and
overseas. Recent graduates are listed here.
