Bachelor of Science in Bioresource Science and Engineering

The BSE program focuses on the development of process engineers who optimize the manufacture of value added products from sustainable natural resources. Students learn the fundamentals of science and engineering related to the conversion of biomass to fuels, chemicals, and pulp and paper products. The BSE program has a strong research component. The Bioresource Science and Engineering (BSE) is an capacity-constrained major, which means students must complete all of the minimum requirements to apply.
