Most likely a stupid question, but

I never said anything bad about the application of biology to agriculture, but your blanket statement that Biological Engineering at Cornell is being taught with an agricultural focus is false.

The research in the Biological Engineering department happens to be agriculture related, that in no way means that your education will be agriculturally tailored, any more so than the fact that AEM in the ag. school means you will be learning about agribusiness (unless of course you want to).

Even if they wanted to do research at the school, a BEE major can do research in any subject they would like, from Biomedical, to Biomolecular, to Sustainable Resources, to Civil.

Making false blanket statements like that about Cornell’s programs gives people misinformation, which could potentially drive them away, when they would in fact have found it perfect otherwise. That was my overarching point.
