Engineering Sciences and Technical Electives for BioE Majors
6 Engineering Sciences and Technical Elective credits are required for the undergradute B.S. in Bioengineering.
Take 2 courses. At least one must be 300-level or above. Courses used to satisfy this requirement must have an ENXX or BIOE prefix.
Note: You may have even more options! Students may take other courses approved by their faculty advisors. Please note that electives may periodically be deleted or created. Students studying abroad may take courses in host institutions that may qualify as electives. Such courses must be approved by the departmental advisor before starting a study abroad program.
