Biological resources engineers improve societies, ecosystems, and the lives of individuals. Specializing in products made from, used with, or applied to living organisms, they engineer solutions to problems involving human health and safety, environmental quality, and sustainable food and fiber production.

The graduate program of the Department of Biological Resources Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park provides qualified students with the multidisciplinary study and research experience they need to contribute to this growing and exciting field. Under the personal guidance of outstanding faculty, graduate students design educational programs leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. They develop these programs within the framework of three areas of graduate study:

Bioengineering

Bioenvironmental and Water Resources Engineering

Ecological Engineering

All of these programs are then tailored to meet the individual research interests and career ambitions of each graduate student.
