Additional Degrees & Concentrations

(BS/Minor/Assoc) - Biomedical engineering degrees connect the knowledge of biology, engineering and mathematical principles to understand and apply solutions in biological and health systems. Students will focus on concepts including body motion, body tissues and the transportation of matter across cell membranes.
(Concentration) - Molecular and nanoscale engineering concentrations combine principles of both electrical and material engineering in the study of extremely small matter – like molecules and nanometer-sized material –garnering impactful insights to further innovations to materials, processes and systems. Students will research and learn application skills that benefit a wide range of fields, including energy, healthcare, food and security.
(Concentration) - Bioenvironmental engineering students will learn how to combine and apply engineering principles with biological, chemical and physical sciences in order to solve environmental problems.
(Concentration) - Students of bioprocess and bioenergy degrees will learn how to engineer biological processes to create bio-based products and produce renewable energy. Depending upon career goals, students may study biomass feedstock development, fermentation processes and/or focus on the various means in which biofuels, biogas and bioenergy can advance technology.

Meet Taylor

B.S. Agricultural and Biological Engineering

Taylor went to college with two major interests - drug discovery and agriculture. She's found agricultural and biological engineering allow her to explore both paths, leaving her future open with the freedom to decide. Simply put, Taylor loves having options. A Florida native, Taylor was new to Indiana when she arrived at college. She helps other students get acclimated to life in the Hoosier state and on-campus through an organization called URMC.
"This major combines my passion for agriculture an my passion for drug discovery."
