[Students are urged to complete a minor and participate in the Cooperative Education program and/or the Biosystems Intern program (BE 370), and/or the Study Abroad program. Those with medical career interests should consider graduate study and/or medical school].

Notes: A. All Biosystems Engineering students must have a cumulative engineeringgrade-point ratio of 2.0 to enroll in any 300 or 400 level Be courses.
B. Biosystems Engineering students are encouraged to complete a Minor and.or a Coop program and/or Internship (BE 370) andor a Study Abroad Program.
c. Probable minors include Bioengineering, Life Science cluster, Envr. Engr. (See Minor Recom. Sheet for Applied Biotech).
D. Departmental Honors Thesis (BE H300/H301/H400) is available for qualifying Junior/Senior students.
E
.Biosystems Engineering majors are encouraged to consider possibilities of graduate study early in the undergraduate program and plan accordingly, including the possibility of participating in Clemson's BS/MS program wherein six credits may count in both the BS and a MS degree. Probable graduate programs include Biosystems Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Bioengineering, and other engineering and non-engineering programs. BS/MS agreements exist for BE.
F.Students must update Portfolio's per individual course completion.
