To complete the bioengineering minor, you must complete 12 required credits and 12 elective credits. At least 4 elective credits must be from the BIOE subject-code and up to 8 credits from the requirements tab may be applied towards the upper-division bioengineering minor requirement. Courses used to complete a student’s major core requirements may not be applied towards the bioengineering minor elective requirement.

Bioengineering resides at the interface of engineering and the natural sciences, and a thorough knowledge of both is essential for innovation and problem solving in the discipline. The courses below provide an opportunity for students to strengthen their knowledge within their primary discipline in several areas particularly relevant to bioengineering, including: genetics, microbiology, physiology, chemistry, neuroscience, physics and electronics.
