Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with Concentration in Biomolecular Engineering

Program Overview

The Chemical Engineering program has three concentrations, which enable you to customize your elective choices to target specific post-graduation career goals. All three concentrations require all core chemical engineering courses, which will allow you to choose a career path in industry (or otherwise). This is important to recognize for the situations where you might begin your study toward a particular career path and choose at the end to change to something else. These concentrations were designed to facilitate one direction or another — not to limit career choice.

Biomolecular Engineering Concentration

This concentration is recommended for students planning to pursue a professional degree, such as in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, or veterinary. It is the only Chemical Engineering concentration that allows BIO 1134 and BIO 1144 to fulfill B.S. degree requirements. If you are interested in this pathway after graduation, it would be good for you to touch base with the professional track advisors on campus: Dr. Reese handles pre-medicine and pre-dental advising. The MSU Health Professions Resource Center also offers support for preparing for these medical careers. In addition, this concentration provides the biological background for students wanting to pursue industrial careers in biochemical engineering (e.g., Cargill or Zoetis) or pharmaceutical engineering (e.g., Merck or AbbVie).

Work Permit

PGWP

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.

It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.

A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):

Pre-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment provided to F-1 students before completion of their course of study.
Post-Completion OPT: This is temporary employment available to F-1 students after completing their course of study.
24 Month STEM Extension: Students enrolled in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses can a 24-month extension after their initial Post-Completion OPT authorization.
