The five-year, dual-degree program in bioresource engineering is
offered by the School of Engineering in cooperation with Cook College.
The curriculum provides an option in bioenvironmental engineering. This
program allows a greater depth of specialization at the undergraduate
level than can be achieved by completing the four-year program.
Students in the five-year program apply to Cook College, under whose
jurisdiction they remain for the first two years. Assuming satisfactory
progress, the students come under the academic jurisdiction of the
School of Engineering for the remaining three years of the program.
However, the students continue to affiliate with Cook College and must
select humanities/social sciences electives to satisfy Cook College
requirements. Four-year bioresource engineering majors may apply to
Cook College for transfer to the dual-degree, five-year program at any
time prior to their fourth year.
