Course variations

Course summary

This program is offered through the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering with cooperation from the College of Agriculture and the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. The students will be assigned an advisor as the chair of their supervisory committee. The plan of study developed by the student in consultation with the supervisory committee will meet the requirements of the cooperating department or school. In addition, it is expected that the plan of study will contain courses specifically focused on biosystems engineering and related to the research area.
