Microbial engineering is an interdisciplinary program that combines an understanding of basic principles in microbiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, chemical engineering, and related sciences. Students are trained in the industrial application of microorganisms, cultured cells, and immunologic agents. Students learn both modern basic microbiology and biological engineering. Courses may be chosen from specific fields including biochemistry, microbiology, food science, genetics and cell biology, or pharmacognosy. The program is coordinated by the BioTechnology Institute (BTI) and involves faculty from 10 departments and 5 institutes of the University.
Note: The minor in microbial engineering is offered at the doctoral level only.
