Graduate Studies (MS & PhD) in Biosystems Engineering


Most Master of Science study programs in Biosystems Engineering include a thesis, but a non-thesis option is available.

Students applying for admission into the Biosystems Engineering doctoral program must submit evidence of ability to perform and report independent research to the satisfaction of the faculty of the department. An approved master’s thesis will usually be acceptable for this purpose.
