Engineering Minors
Bioengineering Minor
A minor in bioengineering is available to students enrolled in any Whitacre College of Engineering degree program. This minor consists of four required preparatory courses (in biology, chemistry, and statistics), one course in a bioengineering core area (biomechanics, biochemical engineering, or bioinstrumentation), and two approved bioengineering elective courses. Students who wish to pursue this minor should see their advisor or the academic dean.
