The Master's Degrees in Chemical Engineering (ME, MS) at the American University of Beirut (AUB) are designed to provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the field of chemical engineering. The ME program is a research-oriented program that requires students to complete a thesis project, in addition to a set of core and elective courses. The program is suitable for students who wish to pursue a career in academia or research, or who are seeking to further their education in chemical engineering. The MS program, on the other hand, offers both thesis and non-thesis options, and is designed for students who wish to deepen their knowledge in chemical engineering without necessarily pursuing a research-oriented career. The program requires students to complete a set of core and elective courses, and to choose between completing a research project or taking additional coursework.
