Pre-Biological Systems Engineering
Biological Systems Engineering (BSEN) is one of the most rapidly developing disciplines in all of engineering. Biological systems engineers are trained to solve problems in biomedical engineering, environmental and water resources engineering, and food and bioproducts engineering. Students who choose pre-biological systems engineering on the Omaha campus, should be aware that there are four courses in the first two years (BSEN 100, 112, 212 and 225; nine total credit hours) for which there are no equivalents on the Omaha campus. However, substitutions for BSEN 100 may be available on a case by case basis.
