Students completing this concentration will simultaneously fulfill the requirements for a Minor in Biomanufacturing

1. ENG 101 may be taken in either the fall of the spring.

2. Select from the College of Engineering’s Humanities and Social Science (H&SS) list for the GER. At least one of the courses must focus on a non-English speaking culture

3. Students may substitute ZO 160 for BIO 183.

4. Students may substitute ENG 332 or ENG 333 for ENG 331.

5. The bioethics course satisfies the H&SS requirement in the Science, Technology, and Society category. The eligible courses include: IDS 201, 303; STS 302, 304, 320; STS(PHI) 325.

6. The Biomanufacturing elective course must be selected from the following list: BEC 480, 485, 497; BIT 466, 470. NOTE: Course selected from the eighth semester choice of either BEC 480/485 cannot be used to satisfy this requirement.

7. To graduate, students must demonstrate competency in a foreign language at the FL 102 level and have a grade of C- or higher in ENG 101.
