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.
