Chemical engineers are in high demand.

Gain the expertise to transform substances into other materials and make products and processes faster, safer, and more reliable in an energy efficient and sustainable manner.

Chemical engineers solve problems across just about any industry: biotech, consumer products, electronic materials, energy, food, polymers, pulp and paper, and the environment.

Our dual-degree program with the University of North Dakota (UND) allows you to complete a physics or chemistry degree at Baker while also earning an ABET-certified engineering degree from the UND while in residence at Baker.
