For all tracks
BIOC 307 (Biochemistry), CBIO
453 (Cell and Molecular Biology), BIOC
308 (Genes and Genetic Engineering) |
For Industry Track and Chemical Engineering
minor
ECHE 260 (Intro to
Chem Sys), ECHE 364 (Chem
Reaction Processes) and EBME
315, EBME
325, or EBME
408. |
For Premed Track
EBME
315, EBME
316, EBME
325, EBME
408, EBME
426, BIOL 308/408 (Genes
and Genetic Engineering). Additionally, second
semester Organic chemistry should be taken over
the summer. |
For Biomedical/Tissue Engineering
Graduate Study & Biomedical Industry
EBME
315, EBME
325, EBME
406, EBME
408, and EBME
426 |
For MBA, Law, Divinity or Other Fields
Use the Open elective appropriately. For example, ENTP
311 (New Venture Creation) for MBA-bound students. |
| Additionally,
the Social Science/Humanities sequences can be
tailored to suit these interests. For example,
Econ SS sequence for MBA bound students; Political
Science for those interested in Law school; Religion/philosophy
for those bound to divinity school. |
|
Requirements for Math and Science Elective
|
| Approved courses include almost any
200 level or above course having 3 or more credits
in biology, physics, biochemistry, chemistry, or
math. Approved courses include BIOL
205, BIOL 214, BIOL
215, CHEM 223 , CHEM
224 , PHYS 221 ,
and BIOC 307, BIOC
308, and BIOL/EBME
300. Students can consult with their advisor
to use another course not on this list. Understand
that one cannot double count by applying this course
toward another graduation requirement such as a technical
elective in a BME sequence. Please be advised that BIOL
216 , PHYS 204 , PHYS
208 , and PHYS 250 will
probably not be approved because of overlap with
the BME curriculum. |
NOTES
If you are interested in a minor in
the Macromolecular science, it is required that you take EMAC
276, 351, 352, 377,
and 470 in
addition to the Macro courses in the sequences.
1. CHEM
223 can be substituted by CHEM
323.
2. If accepted by the course coordinator,
a semester coop project can be used as a senior project.
3. STAT
312 (eng.&sci) can be substituted by STAT
313 (experimenters), STAT
332 (signal), STAT
333 (uncertainty, spring).
**
Students are expected to take EBME 398 or
EBME 380, but not both. If choosing the
EBME 398 option, students are encouraged
to register for this class in the fall. Students will take EBME 380 in the spring following EBME 370.
