Biotechnology Specialization, Certificate
Certificate in Biotechnology Specialization (420008C)
Chemical Engineering students may choose to specialize in biotechnology. The goal of this program is to allow engineering students with an interest in chemistry and biotechnology to develop suitable preparation for careers or graduate study in biotechnology or the medical fields without reducing their potential for careers in traditional chemical engineering. Students will have ample opportunity to work with researchers in biotechnology through their engineering and design electives.
The following information has official approval of the Department of Chemical, Biomolecular and Corrosion Engineering and the College of Engineering and Polymer Science, but is intended only as a guide. Completion of this certificate is contingent upon many factors, including but not limited to: class availability, total number of required credits, work schedule, finances, family, course drops/withdrawals, successfully passing courses, prerequisites, among others.
The following courses constitute a “Certificate in Biotechnology Specialization” and must be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.0 overall for the certificate to be noted on the student’s record.
