7. CLEMSON U N I V E R S I T Y ChEs are expected to see significant employment growth for the foreseeable future (US Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics) Large growth opportunities are expected in research and development, particularly in energy, biotechnology, and nanotechnology (Sloan Career Cornerstone Center) Pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, and energy are likely offer the best manufacturing opportunities for ChEs (Sloan Career Cornerstone Center) Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Career Path Forecast

8. CLEMSON U N I V E R S I T Y PhD: Usually required or research/development or university teaching. Recent Clemson grads have chosen to continue their studies at MIT, UCBerkeley, UTexas, GaTech,, UVa, UFla, NCState, Iowa, Clemson, and several other universities. MS: Can be used as a first step toward a PhD or to bolster your resume, but don’t expect a quick payout. Professional Degrees: Medical/dental, veterinary, law. (Columbia U, USC, MUSC, UGa, UNC-Chapel Hill) Master’s in Business Administration (MBA): usually of more value if you get a few years’ of industry experience first. Professional Engineer (PE) – certification based on 5 years’ experience and a professional exam. Contact: Dr. Charlie Gooding, chgdng@clemson.edu Advanced Career Opportunities
