Welcome to BAE Undergraduate Studies!
The Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAE) is committed to advancing biotechnology, biomaterials, agricultural production, food quality and food safety through research, teaching and outreach. With two majors and five minors, our programs are structured to educate students in the science and engineering of biological and agricultural systems so they are prepared to work on some of the world's most difficult problems and help create a more sustainable future.
BAE is a unique department in that we are part of both the College of Engineering (COE) and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) with a major in each college. The Biological Systems Engineering (EBSE) major is an ABET accredited program housed in COE and the Agriculture and Environmental Technology (AAET) major is our newest major housed in CAES. Additionally, we offer five minors, with the Energy Efficiency, Energy Policy, and Energy Science & Technology minors being housed in COE and the Geographic Information Systems and Precision Agriculture minors being housed in CAES.
