MS Biochemical Engineering
Biochemical Engineering utilizes the governing principles of living systems, properties of biological materials and engineering methodology in the processing of biological materials and in the processes using biological agents such as cells, enzymes and antibodies.
Admissions
General requirements
- M.S. students should form their advisory committee comprised of 3 faculty members within 12 months of starting their M.S. program.
- M.S. students should complete their research proposal within 15 months of starting their M.S. program.
- Student must make one oral presentation in the School Seminar.
The research is expected to generate significant scholarship (such as publications, patents, conference presentations).
Program of Study
This program of study is effective Spring Semester 2019. Previous program of study requirements may be found here.
The M.S. in Biochemical Engineering degree requires a minimum of 33 semester hours, which consist of the following on the student’s Program of Study:
- A minimum of 24 semester hours of coursework:
- ENGR 6910: Foundations for Engineering Research (3 credit hours)
- BCHE 8970: Bioengineering Seminar (2 semesters, 2 credit hours, 1 credit hour on Program of Study*)
