MS in Biochemical Engineering

Biochemical engineers are needed to transfer the plethora of biochemical discoveries including new drug products and biomaterials into manufacturing processes. The Biochemical Engineering MS degree provides students with an advanced engineering education; students learn to integrate diverse knowledge in engineering, chemical and biological sciences and gain skills in problem definition as well as use of advanced techniques of data analysis and presentation of original research results. The degree requires twenty-four credit hours of coursework, comprising advanced engineering courses and one hour of seminar and six hours of thesis research.

Understanding that 21st-century engineers require more than technical knowledge, we equip students with an understanding of the social and economic impact of their work, the ability to communicate their ideas to a wide variety of people, the ability to work effectively in teams, and the skills to provide leadership in solving society’s greatest challenges. Our students are immersed in hands-on learning through design-based classroom and field experiences, undergraduate and graduate research, study abroad, co-ops, and internships. The UGA College of Engineering offers eight undergraduate and seven graduate degree programs. We also offer a variety of dual degrees and combined bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
