MA/MS in Agricultural Engineering

The graduate program in biological systems engineering links engineering and biology to address difficult problems, such as sustainable production, processing and use of biological materials and the protection of natural resources and the environment. This listing refers to the master of science, which the department says takes about two years. A non-thesis master of engineering, a doctoral degree and an accelerated path that combines bachelor's and master's study in five years are also offered. Fall applicants should apply by the beginning of January. Spring applications are due in September, with an earlier cutoff for international applicants than for domestic ones. Research areas, a student handbook, the graduate catalog and information on assistantships are linked from the page. The page also lists several research areas for students to explore.
