The Bioengineering Minor
The department offers a minor in bioengineering that is open to all students who are not majoring in bioengineering and who have completed the necessary prerequisites for the minor requirements. As preparation for the minor, students may want to consider taking the following prerequisites for some of the upper division courses in the minor: Chemistry 3A, *Physics 7A & 7B (*Students who have already taken the Physics 8 series may substitute that for the Physics 7 series.), and Math 53 and 54. In planning electives students should look at other prerequisites for upper division courses you plan on taking for the minor.
Requirements:
To be admitted to the minor a student must have a minimum overall grade point average of 3.000 and a 3.000 grade point average in the pre-requisite courses for all courses for the minor To successfully complete the minor, students must have a grade point average of 2.000 in the minor courses at graduation Only one upper division course used for the minor can overlap with courses used for the major Completing a minor cannot delay graduation
Courses: - One course off the Fundamentals List: BioE 101, 102, 104, 115 or 131
- One course off the Bioengineering Technical List
- One course off the Bioengineering Topics List
- Two Upper Division Bioengineering courses off the BioE Topics List (note excludes, BioE 100)
Procedure: Students should obtain an application from 306 Stanley Hall or download the pdf . Completed applications should be returned to Cindy Manly-Fields in 306 Stanley. The department will approve or deny the application. If approved, the department will contact the student via email advising of the decision. .
