Curriculum Overview

The bioengineering master's program has two components: an interdisciplinary core curriculum, including one class outside of students' chosen sub-specialty to increase the breadth of bioengineering knowledge; and courses required by the department for students' chosen track. Master's degrees require a minimum of 30 SHUs and the fulfillment of at least 10 courses with grades of S (satisfactory) or at least a B-.

The bioengineering master's program has six tracks:

Core curriculum (Total 12 SHUs)
Choose 1 (3 SHUs)	BME 162: Molecular Biotechnology (3 SHUs) CHBE 162: Molecular Biotechnology (3 SHUs) BIO 162: Molecular Biotechnology (3 SHUs) BIO 105: Molecular Biology (3 SHUs)
Seminar (Total 3 SHUs)	BioE291: Bioengineering Seminar (2 SHUs) BioE292: Bioengineering Seminar (1 SHU)
Choose 1 (3 SHUs)	Special Topics: CHBE 194: Data Science in Biotechnology (3 SHUs) CHBE 170: Design of Experiments (3 SHUs) EE 104: Probabilistic Systems Analysis_§ (3 SHUs) BME 143: Biological Systems Analysis (3 SHUs)
Choose 1 (3 SHUs): Breadth requirement	One course from another track in the Bioengineering Master's Program (3 SHUs)¹

^§Additional Math selections may be substituted for EE-104 by petition of the admission committee, BME-143-01 (Biological Systems Analysis) or CHBE-170 (Design And Analysis Of Experiments).

¹Advisor approval is required.
