<p>I’m not worried about actually getting into the MS in ChemE program because I actually took/taking/will take several ChemE classes and passed those I already took with A’s and B’s. The core background as defined by my current school is simply Thermo + Reaction Kinetics + Transport Phenomena. I’ll have those by the time I graduate. I just won’t have the piece of paper saying B.S. in Chemical Engineering. What I am worried about is not the background limiting me but the piece of paper that says B.S. Chemistry and being looked down due to it regardless of background since employers don’t seem to care what classes you take, only the name of your piece of paper.</p>
