Bioengineering Minor
Overview
The Bioengineering minor is an interdisciplinary minor, and includes courses from biology, chemistry, and engineering. The goal of the minor is to provide engineering students with sufficient knowledge and skills in biology and engineering, in order to prepare them for entrance into graduate research programs in biomedical and biochemical engineering — including M.D. and Ph.D. programs.
In addition, engineering students completing the minor are well prepared to work as bachelor's degree engineers in specialty biomedical and biochemical companies.
Requirements
The minor in Bioengineering consists of a minimum of six courses (18 credit hours) with at least two courses (6 credit hours) completed at the junior levels or above (3000- or 4000-level courses).
