| First, right off the bat, your assumption that humanities requirements are different for pure science majors vs. engineering majors is not necessarily true. Check that on a school-by-school basis… With a little digging, you should be able to find out what each school's requirements are online. At Rice, the (very loose) core requirements were the same for everyone at the university (whichever area you majored in, you automatically got core requirement credit for, but you'd have to fulfill requirements in the other areas).
Secondly, you should probably find out a little more about chemical engineering. It sounds like you sort of think that it's like chemistry, except that you take it within an engineering department… That's not really the case.
Thirdly, if you'd like to still get your degree in chemical engineering, there's no reason why you can't go on and pursue a doctorate in chemical engineering and do your research within that field. Why in particular would you like to do research in chemistry? What sort of things interest you? |
