Bioengineering Science Major (Bachelor of Science)
Janice McKenzie, Program Director.
Students majoring in bioengineering will take courses designed to ensure a broad preparation in engineering and biological fundamentals, mathematics, and the physical sciences. Majors will concentrate their studies in an area consistent with their career goals. Electives will be chosen by each student in conference with the program director or the engineering dean. Each student must receive approval of his/her program at the beginning of the junior and senior years. Requirements for bioengineering science include a minimum of 69 quarter hours in the major, plus the 64 quarter hours for the required cognates, and the general studies program for the baccalaureate degree as outlined in this bulletin. All majors must take the Graduate Record Examination general section or comparable examination for post graduate studies or certification, such as the Fundamentals of Engineering.
Core Requirements
Bioengineering Sequence Options
Six credits from one of the following sequences:
Colloquium
Six quarters of Colloquium are required including two to four quarters of each of the following:
Electives
Bioengineering and Engineering Electives (12 credits)
Core Electives (4 credits)
Math and Science Electives (12 credits)
Electives must be approved by the program director or the engineering dean after consideration of the total student program.
Cognates:
Take CHEM 141,142,143 first year due to scheduling conflicts.
CHEM 321 and CHEM 322: While the first two quarters are required as cognates for the major, a complete, year-long sequence may be necessary to fulfill course prerequisites or requirements for advanced studies.
General Studies
ENGL 214-Themes in Lit: Medicine in Literature is recommended as a general studies elective.
