BIOL 4110: Introduction to Microbial Physiology (3) (BIOL 2051)
BIOL 4135 (currently BIOL 4800), Genomics and Bioinformatics (3) (BIOL 4087 or 4093)

* an appropriate substitution may be requested if ChE 4260 is not offered.

Notes

Prerequisite classes that are required for chemical engineers are not listed.

The bio concentration may require more effort than the other two concentrations because many concentration electives will require BIOL 1202(3), 1208(1), and 1209(1) and also because many electives are four-credit courses.
