Suggested First- and Second-Year College Courses: CHEM 142, CHEM 152, and CHEM 162 (or CHEM 144, CHEM 154, and CHEM 164); CSE 142, English composition, MATH 124, MATH 125, MATH 126, PHYS 121.

Admission is competitive. Students may be admitted at three different points. Consult the department's website for more information.

Nanoscience and Molecular Engineering Option (NME): Admission to the NME option for bioengineering majors is by self-selection and normally occurs in winter quarter of the junior year, upon completion of all bioengineering prerequisites and formal admission to the BS bioengineering major. Students applying for the NME option should indicate that interest on their bioengineering major application and discuss their interests/background in their application personal statement.

Students follow requirements in effect at time of entry into the department. 180 credits as follows:
