Other U.S. Graduate Programs and Faculty

The best graduate program is our own at the Univ. Minnesot's CEMS program, a top-rated chemical engineering program in the country, both in undergraduate and graduate education. Our bioengineering program is one of the few in the nation that is both conducting cutting-edge research and preparing well-rounded engineers to excel in the bioprocessing industry. (Ranking of graduate programs)

As the country's research emphasis is on creating new opportunities for the future, relatively scarce resources are available for training our best creative minds to work in the traditional bioprocessing industries, such as fermentation, cell culture engineering and bioseparations. We have maintained our lead by continuously introducing innovative ideas and pace-setting research tools into a diverse array of intellectual challenges in areas ranging from future technologies to current manufacturing technology. In addition, we continuously forge collaborations with colleagues from many disciplines to introduce new concepts, new methodologies and new ways of working together.

As a policy, we do not take CEMS B.S. undergraduates into our graduate program. Following is a list of schools which you may want to investigate for graduate education in bioengineering. Keep in mind that a great number of students choose different research areas after entering a graduate program; in making your selection of schools to apply to, consider other areas as well as bioengineering.
