Students interested in entering the MBBE graduate program have two options to choose from: the Graduate Program in Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering and the Graduate Program in Bioengineering. Below are brief descriptions of the programs

(please click on the appropriate links to find out more about the academic requirements of each program).

Graduate Program in Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering (M.S. and Ph.D degree)

The Molecular Biosciences & Bioengineering (MBBE) Graduate Program offers both MS and Ph.D. degrees. The MBBE research and graduate training center around understanding the biochemical, nutritional, and molecular-biological processes that underlie growth, development, photosynthesis, and stress, especially as related to tropical agriculture, aquaculture, and plant and environmental biotechnology.

Graduate Program in Bioengineering (M.S. degree)

The graduate program in bioengineering integrates biological science and engineering for design, fabrication, or operation of systems with a significant biological component. Some of the most notable areas where the expertise of bioengineering is needed are environmental protection, food production and security, development of alternative energy, and biological processing of natural materials for medical and other high-value applications.
