What majors are offered by the Bioengineering Department for undergraduates?
At the undergraduate level, the department offers several four-year engineering majors. They are: B.S. degree in Bioengineering, B.S. degree in Bioengineering: Biotechnology, B.S. degree in Bioengineering: Premedical, B.S. degree in Bioengineering: Bioinformatics. (Margene Wight, 2007.06.11) (1.1.2) Q: What are the differences between the different departmental offerings of the major? A: The Chemistry, Computer Science, Biology, and Bioengineering department all offer the bioinformatics track. Currently (2006), the tracks are all very similar save some minor differences in technical electives. The Bioengineering track is perhaps the most limited major in that it requires BENG130 (physical chemistry), PHYS140A (thermodynamic/statistical physics very difficult!!), and BENG161C (metabolic engineering/systems biology). Other departments don’t require as many classes, but instead offer a pool of technical electives. (Margene Wight, 2007.06.
