<p>

On April 20, during their final meeting of the 2008-2009 academic year, the University Senate approved our new major in bioengineering. This major provides a bachelor of science in engineering from paper and chemical engineering department within SEAS.</p>

<p>Students in bioengineering will learn how to apply the concepts of chemistry, biochemisty and biological science, and mathematics to solve problems in process engineering, product development, and research and development. Within the bioengineering curriculum, students choose among various areas of concentration by judicious selection of required and elective courses. Areas of concentration include bioinformatics and computational biology, biomedical engineering, bioprocessing, and pre-medical.</p>

<p>The major will be available to students beginning in Fall 2010.
