Undergraduate Curriculum

CBEE offers B.S. and H.B.S degrees in bioengineering, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering. Each of our engineering majors is rooted from the process engineering principles of chemical engineering. These majors are each 192 credits total and take approximately 4-5 years to complete.

CBEE Curriculum & Degree Requirements

Starting in the 2021-22 academic year, CBEE undergraduate major curricula are changing to align with a new first-year engineering orientation and computation series. In conjunction, new BIOE courses are being rolled out as part of an overhaul of our BIOE major curriculum. Students should follow the curriculum plan that is based on their term of admission and progression through degree requirements. If you have questions about which curriculum applies to you, please contact our advising team.
