Biorenewable systems encompass the frameworks and methods that develop and sustain biologically-derived products, which can be consistently replenished through effective technology and management practices. The BioRenewable Systems (BRS) degree is available as an on-campus, research-focused M.S. and Ph.D. program, with a thesis requirement for both degrees.
Our BioRenewable Systems (BRS) Graduate Program includes Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree options.
The BioRenewable Systems major:

Combines scientific and technological knowledge with business principles (marketing, management, entrepreneurship, and leadership) for bio-based products/materials and their distribution networks,
Serves as an excellent graduate-level alternative for students without an engineering background, and
Equips graduates to drive innovation and progress in the expanding bio-based economy across critical industries: biofuels, energy, chemicals, bioplastics, packaging, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products.
