Biomolecular Engineering is a broad, interdisciplinary field with the main goal of engineering value-added biomolecules and biomolecular systems for applications in the medical, chemical, agricultural and food industries. Its practice ranges from the fundamental study of biomolecules and biomolecular systems to the design of cellular factories and artificial organs. The Biomolecular Engineering minor is designed to better prepare non-chemical engineering students for careers in the food, pharmaceutical, personal care, and biotechnology industries. This minor is not open to students majoring in chemical engineering. Those students should instead take the biomolecular engineering concentration if they are interested in biomolecular engineering coursework.

Students may fulfill the requirements for a minor in biomolecular engineering by completing the following course sequence. For more information, please contact the academic advisors in the School of Chemical Sciences.
