We strive to train students with the ability to serve humanity by applying engineering knowledge to solving problems facing society. Admission to this degree program requires an undergraduate engineering degree or significant engineering coursework. If you do not have an engineering background, please consider one of our other graduate degree programs.

The Master of Science degree, biosystems engineering major, has both thesis and non-thesis options. Students are required to choose between these options in their first semester of study, in consultation with their major professor. Once an option is selected, it may only be changed with written approval of both the major professor and department head.
