Program Descriptions:
The Department of Biological Systems Engineering currently offers graduate programs in the following four general emphasis areas.

Biomass Processing and Bioproducts Engineering: Develop engineering processes to produce useful, high-value products from the byproducts of agricultural operations and other sources of plant biomass.

Food engineering: The application of engineering to the production of safe, nutritious food.

Land, Air, Water, and Environmental Engineering (LAWREE): Engineering applications related to hydrologic processes at the field level or at the scale of large water sheds.

Environmental engineering: Application of engineering and biological principles to the study of the environmental impact of managed biological systems, including agriculture, confined-animal operations, aquaculture, and natural resources.
