A concentration in Biotechnology, administered by the Chemical Engineering
Department, is available and is intended primarily for graduate Chemistry and
Biology students matriculating in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. A
graduate student interested in the Biotechnology Certificate should make
application to a specific science department in the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences. Once accepted into the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences graduate
program, they should contact the Chemical Engineering Department regarding this
Certificate.
The Certificate program in Biotechnology is a concentration of courses that
introduce the fundamentals of Biochemical Engineering, and topics supporting the
Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industries.
The Biotechnology Certificate consists of the two required courses and two
elective courses. The required courses are:
Fall Semester (even years) Course
CHE 8588 - Biochemical Engineering I
Spring Semester (odd years) Course
CHE 8589 - Biochemical Engineering II
Two electives are to be selected from the following list of courses,
subject to the approval of both the appropriate department in
the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Chemical Engineering
Department.
This sequence of courses will be offered at a frequency of approximately once
every two years. A student may start the sequence at any time and complete the
certificate in more than two years. The courses may be taken in any order,
although it is recommended that CHE 8588 and CHE 8589, Biochemical Engineering I
and II be completed in consecutive semesters. Students with a grade point
average of 3.00 or above in the four approved courses will receive a certificate
indicating the successful completion of the Biotechnology Certificate.
