Bioengineering Major with Chemical Engineering Option
Career Path
This option is for students wishing to study transport within physiological systems, drug delivery, and development of engineered tissues. Typically these students will pursue careers in the pharmaceutical industry, vaccine development or other areas of medicine and the biosciences.
Our students have been employed at companies such as Merck and Co., Johnson and Johnson family of companies and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
