Graduate Student Life

Welcome! We are excited to welcome you to our “family” in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. We are disappointed that you cannot visit our department in person to see first-hand our friendly and supportive environment, the beautiful city of Raleigh (#5 Best Large City 2021 and #2 Best Place to live 2021), and our world class facilities, but we hope that we can at least show you virtually the quality of our people (faculty, staff, and students) and our high impact research. We also congratulate you on admission – you are an elite group of students and we want you to join us!
