Chemical Engineering Grad Programs

The Russell School of Chemical Engineering at UTulsa offers a dynamic environment for exciting research and close student-faculty collaboration.

Offering a master’s program since 1939 and a doctoral program since 1966, our school is strongly established in the petroleum, natural gas, and environmental fields. Our diverse research opportunities also include materials engineering, biochemical engineering, and advanced modeling and simulation as well as alternative energy, environment surface science, and catalysis. Taking a modern, experimental approach to research, we investigate fundamental phenomena as applied to real-world problems, thereby enhancing our interactions with industry. We also focus on computational studies with an aim to catalyze solutions to complex societal challenges.
