Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (Biomedical Biomolecular Track)

Chemical Engineering is a profession in which knowledge of mathematics, chemistry, biology, and other natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgment to develop economical ways of using material and energy for the benefit of mankind. The program required for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering (BSChE) provides fundamental instruction in mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. This education prepares the graduate to seek employment in petrochemical, pharmaceutical, healthcare, microelectronics, polymers, energy and environmental industries. In addition, the graduate is well-prepared to pursue graduate school. The Biomedical & Biomolecular Track allows students to tailor their degree to include training in bio-related coursework andor laboratory experiences. Chemical engineers are already well-positioned to pursue careers in pharmaceuticals, biological processing, bioremediation, biofuels, or advanced graduate or clinical degrees. Topics of study can include the study of biological processes, cell signaling, design of biomedical or clinical devices, biosystems, bioproducts, pharmaceutics, and others. Including the Biomedical & Biomolecular Track in the plan of study allows students to gain additional exposure to these topics, and may be of particular interest to students wishing to pursue a clinical degree, such as MD, DO, or PharmD, or an advanced graduate degree (MS or PhD) as the Biomedical & Biomolecular Track, by design, automatically meets the requirements for Pre-Med status provided the General Education courses selected include Introduction to Psychology (PSY 120) and Introductory Sociology (SY 109).

Academic records detailing course work completed in secondary schools with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 as calculated by the Office of International Admissions and Student Programs. Academic Records Details Academic records for all secondary and/or postsecondary attempts must be submitted Students must have the equivalent of a US 4 year bachelor degree to be eligible for review Unofficial or official copies will be accepted for admission Unofficial: Any applicant who submits unofficial documents for admission must submit official copies no later than the student's first semester check-in and orientation. Failure to do so may result in revocation of admissions and cancellation of the immigration document issued by the University. Official: Each record must bear the original stamp/seal and signature of a government or school official (e.g., registrar or dean). Notarized copies will not be accepted. All records must be mailed to the University of South Alabama's Office of International Admissions and Student Programs from each institution you have attended. Academic records should list the subjects studied by year; the number of weekly lecture and laboratory hours in each attempt at every subject; grades, marks, or percentages earned in year-end examinations; and copies of diplomas, titles, degrees, or certificates. Consolidated mark sheets are not accepted. Academic records not in English must be accompanied by a certified translation. If applicant is dual enrolled, college, university or professional institutions are required as well For transfer applicants with more than 30 transfer credit hours, only postsecondary records are required For transfer applicants with fewer than 30 transfer credit hours, both secondary and postsecondary records are required
