Biological Engineering B.S.B.E.
Biological Engineering B.S.B.E. Eight-Semester Degree Program
The Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering program is eligible for students who want to participate in an Eight Semester Degree Program. See the听Eight-Semester Degree Policy听for more听details. The plan below lists a semester-by-semester sequence of courses to finish the degree in eight semesters. State minimum core courses for engineering are listed at the bottom of this page. Students may submit a maximum of four (4) hours of 鈥淒鈥� in BENG Courses for their degree.
Some courses are not offered every semester, so students who deviate from the suggested sequence must pay careful attention to course scheduling and course pre-requisites.
