How Online Programs Work
Earn your chemical engineering degree online while you continue to live and work in your own community.
You’ll receive the convenience of online learning with the personal contact and connection of being with classmates through online tools – ways of communicating across distances, connecting to others and their ideas, and presenting information.
Campus Visit for Online Chemical Engineering Students
While the majority of coursework is online, you’ll get to come to campus for 1 - 2 weeks during the summer to meet your professors and complete the laboratory portions of the chemical engineering program. Your time on the UND campus is designed to integrate, extend and apply the knowledge you’ve learned during your online courses. Your campus visit will include:
- Hands-on chemical engineering labs or simulations
- Opportunities to interact with faculty and other students in chemical engineering
The hands on experience necessary for chemical engineering can only be gained on your campus visit, where you work over a short period of time with dedicated faculty and teaching assistants to build experience and master the job skills you need.
