Some chemical engineers continue formal study to improve their job opportunities. A master's degree may help chemical engineers as they take on managerial and plant work. Chemical engineers with a doctoral degree may teach and conduct research in universities and industrial or government laboratories. Professional schools such as law or medicine also welcome chemical engineering graduates into their programs.

The best way to begin to think about graduate school opportunities is to speak to your Graduate Program Committee Chair, Dr. Ram Gupta, who can help you get clearer on what you want and what opportunities are out there.
