I love engineering and chemistry and I think I would be a great chemical engineer but unfortunately my school doesn't offer that program. I am a chemistry (with an emphasis in biochemistry) major right now and I graduate in a little over a year. Prerequisitewise, how hard would it be to get into a ChemE graduate program? If its possible I would just get an M.S. in Chem E. and be a chemical engineer..... is that plausible or am I missing something? Thank you all in advance!!

Not all professional students rely on their parents for support. Don't listen to that previous dumb *** who probably doesn't have an education himself.
I have a BS in Chemistry and I was interested in the ChemE degree but you need to look into a University because there are certain classes you need for an MS in ChemE, you can't just cross over.
I went to Texas A&M University and the branch in Kingsville TX has an excellent Chemical Engineering program. I basically had to take all the classes in that major, maybe a few classes transfered over. Give the school of your choice a call and talk to someone in that department, they always want to recruit people so they will tell you exactly what you need.

well i think that some schools might allow you but ill be honest it will be a lot of works caz you would have to do all the prerequisites for the courses you need to get a masters in chemical engineering. so you would probably take a year or two longer to complete the masters program. but thats what i think. the best thing is for you to check with the university youre interested. a phone call neverr hurts anyone. im currently an undergraduate mechanical engineering student so im rooting for you; engineering is the way to go.

Why don't you just go out and get a job instead of being what I call a "professional student". There are many jobs in biochem. Try it first, you might like it more than you realize. And you make real MONEY, instead of relying on your parents to support you.
