MS, PhD
Both PhD and MS degrees are offered in Biosystems Engineering at Clemson. These programs are administered jointly by the College of Engineering and Science and the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences. The degrees are awarded by the College of Engineering and Science. Graduate programs in biosystems engineering are designed to prepare the individual for leadership, creative accomplishment and continued professional learning, and to qualify the student to conduct independent scientific research.
Students may be accepted with backgrounds in quantitative-based scientific fields relating to chemistry, mathematics, physics, biology or any branch of engineering. Each degree program is planned individually to augment the student’s previous engineering and science background with adequate breadth in engineering and specialization in an area of biosystems engineering.
