Program Offerings
The School of Chemical Engineering and Chemistry offers the following programs:
Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, BS ChE
The Chemical Enginnering Program has a curriculum that is designed to provide a strong foundation on mathematics, chemistry, physical sciences, information technology, mass and energy balance, transport process, thermodynamics, reaction engineering and process control in order to understand chemical processes and unit operations.
The program provides knowledge and training in research, process and product development, and operations in such industries as food and food preparations, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, soaps and detergents, builiding materials, metal products, fermentation, textiles, petroleum and petroleum products, polymers, biotechnology, etc. It also covers design of pilot-scale operations and scale-up of laboratory conversions into large scales.
Graduates of this program are expected to paricipate in the preservation and improvement of society, in the areas of process development in energy generation and utilization, food production, resource management, and specification and design of pollution control processes.
The program may also serve as a springboard for other relevant fields such as biotechnology and biochemical engineering, and indudstrial engineering and management.
Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, BS Chm
The Chemistry Program has a curriculum that provides a strong foundation not only in the core sub-disciplines of chemistry namely, organic, inorganic, analytical, and physical chemistry, but also in the emerging sub-disciplines like environmental chemistry, biochemistry, materials chemistry, computational chemistry and food chemistry.
The program provides knowledge of and develops skills in such undertakings as composition analysis and testing of different materials and products, discovery of new pharmaceutical products and materials for construction, development of methods of pollution control and prevention, and formulation for consumer products and others.
Graduates of the program may engage in one or more of the following activities: research and development, laboratory analysis and testing, quality control, production, environmental pollution control, technical sales and services, and market research and analysis.
Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology, BT
The B.S. Biotechnology program provides students a strong foundation in various areas of Molecular Biosciences such as Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Microbiology, Bioinformatics, Molecular Genetics and Biochemical Engineering. The program offers hands-on experiences on various macroscopic and microscopic biological systems, product identification and purification and downstream processing. The program also provides the proper training to students when they work in bio-industries.
The program offers various elective courses so that students may choose an area of biotechnology specialization. This may be in the field of Environmental Biotechnology, Molecular Biophysics, Cell and Tissue Culture, Immunotechnology, Molecular Genetics, Marine Biotechnology, and Bioinformatics.
Graduates of this program may engage in the following professions: research on and development of food, pharmaceutical products, nutraceuticals, and biomaterials; validation of operations and processes in bio-industries; design and engineering of fermentation systems. They may also pursue graduate programs in Bioinformatics, Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Biochemistry or Biochemical Engineering or a degree in Medicine.

BS BCC (Triple Degree)
This program is designed for students who desire to complete the three programs: B.S. Biotechnology, B.S. Chemistry and B.S. Chemical Engineering. Under this program, the student will finish three degrees and will receive three diplomas.
The program gives a strong foundation on core courses in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Chemical Engineering. A graduate of this program may take either the Philippine Board Examination for Chemists or the Philippine Board Examination for Chemical Engineers, or both.
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE AND MASTER OF SCIENCE (BS-MS) JOINT PROGRAMS
The BS-MS joint program allows qualified students whose average is 2.50 and above to earn simultaneously both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. Students will be allowed to enrol in the master’s degree program during their senior year thus both degrees are completed within a shorter time frame.
The program aims to provide the necessary technical training and theoretical background in tackling current and emerging issues and problems in the filed of chemistry, chemical engineering and environmental engineering.
Joint Programs Offered:
- BS Chemical Engineering (ChE) – MS Environmental Engineering (EnE)
The program allows a qualified student to simultaneously earn both Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering and Master of Science in Environmental Engineering degrees in four years and two quarters because qualified students are allowed to begin their master’s degree course work during their senior year. The program is intended for engineering students, who want broad technical competences in environmental science and engineering. It aims to provide qualified students the necessary technical training and theoretical background that will help them in tackling current emergent issues and problems in Environmental Engineering.
- BS Chemical Engineering and Chemistry (CCE) – MS Environmental Engineering (EnE)
The program allows a qualified student to simultaneously earn both Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering & Chemistry and Master of Science in Environmental Engineering degrees in four years and three quarters because qualified students are allowed to begin their master’s degree course work during their senior year. The program is intended for engineering students, who want broad technical competences in environmental science and engineering. It aims to provide qualified students the necessary technical training and theoretical background that will help them in tackling current emergent issues and problems in Environmental Engineering.
- BS Chemical Engineering and Chemistry (CCE) – MS Chemistry (Chm)
The program allows a qualified student to simultaneously earn both Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering & Chemistry and Master of Science in Chemistry degrees and for the qualified student to begin his master’s degree course work during his senior year. The program aims to provide qualified students the necessary and emergent training and theoretical background in tackling the current and emergent issues and problems in the fields of chemistry; organic, analytical, inorganic and physical chemistry.
