Two specializations are offered for our Bachelor of Science degree at the undergraduate level: Biological Engineering and Agricultural Operations Management. Students who have an interest in engineering, biology, packaging, the management of commercial businesses or agricultural and environmental systems can choose a major that fits their career goals.
Biological engineering applies engineering principles to biological sciences to produce biofuels, food, feed, fiber, and other agricultural products from renewable bio-resources. It also aims to protect the environment and conserve and replenish our natural resources and engineer environmentally sustainable packaging solutions for the consumer and food industries.
There are four concentrations available in the Biological Engineering program:
Agricultural Operations Management (AOM) provides students with knowledge and skills in both the technical and business aspects of management for a variety of commercial and family-owned operations including energy and environmental systems, agricultural production, and technical sales.
AOM concentrations include:
