Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering

University of Arizona

Develop the skills and knowledge to help guide the world toward a sustainable future. Biosystems engineers help protect the health and well-being of humans, wildlife, and the Earth. Students earning the Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering collaborate with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and several College of Engineering degree programs. They study ways to sustainably feed an ever-growing world population, harness and preserve natural resources, and overcome environmental challenges. Students are immersed in design throughout their undergraduate experience. The future depends on biosystems engineers working in fields such as agriculture, water conservation and renewable energy.
