Deciding on a concentration is one of the most important decisions an undergraduate makes. That's why we make every effort to provide transparent information about the expectations, curriculum and culture of the department.
At any time, students can call or email Julie Sefa, undergraduate administrator, with questions large or small. For academic consultations, students should contact the appropriate adviser. We are available to help guide you to make an informed, confident decision about your future.
Detailed steps to declare a concentration in chemical and biological engineering are below. First, we recommend students familiarize themselves with the contents of this website.
- The Undergraduate main page gives a brief overview by the numbers.
- The Path to Graduation page provides details about the curriculum.
- The Undergraduate Research page lays out the many opportunities students have for independent work, including stories about senior theses.
