General Information

Clarkson's graduate program in chemical engineering has been growing steadily since the first doctoral degree was granted in 1965. Typically 50 to 75% of our graduate students are in the doctoral program. Clarkson also maintains a healthy research-based Master of Science program and a project-based Master of Engineering program.

The Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department is housed in the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) on the west side of the Raquette River on Clarkson's beautiful hill campus.

The CAMP complex consists of research laboratories, faculty and department offices, classrooms, special test laboratories, and the Multidisciplinary Engineering Laboratory. The first floor of the CAMP complex also contains the Multidisciplinary Engineering Computer and Design Laboratory.

The Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering faculty offices, research laboratories, and administrative offices are all located in CAMP. Research interests in the department are varied. Supported by the Federal government and industry, these cover a broad range which includes aerosols, crystal growth, surface reactions, nucleation and phase transitions, semi-conductor processing, polymer fabrication and properties, and the characterization of fine particles as well as new materials. The faculty obtain in excess of $2.85 million annually in external research support, and the gradute students and faculty members publish vigorously in respected journals, and present numerous talks at national and international meetings. Faculty members also serve on national committees and provide consulting services to government and industry.
