CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING >UNDERGRADUATE MINOR PROGRAMSIn addition to completing the courses for the concentrationrequirement, an undergraduate may electto enroll in a minor program in a different,although possibly related field. All courses used infulfillment of the minor program must be taken fora grade. No more than two courses used to fulfill afoundation or concentration requirement may becounted toward fulfillment of the minor. Studentsmay not complete both a minor and a concentrationin the same discipline.Biotechnology Engineering MinorFive courses are required to obtain this minor.Biology 152 or Chemistry 156; two courses fromthe following: Chemical and Biological Engineering62, 161, or 166; one course from the following:Biology 50, Chemical and Biological Engineering163 or 168; and an elective chosen from anapproved list. No more than two courses used tofulfill a foundation, distribution, or concentrationrequirement may be counted toward the minor.Chemical Engineering MinorFive courses are required: Chemical and BiologicalEngineering 10, 11, 39, 102; and a chemical engineeringelective approved by the minor committee.All courses must be taken for a grade. No morethan two courses used to fulfill a foundation, distribution,or concentration requirement may becounted toward the minor.SECOND MAJOR IN BIOTECHNOLOGYThis program is offered as a major only in conjunctionwith enrollment in a regular undergraduatemajor, ordinarily excluding interdisciplinaryprograms. The biotechnology program has beendesigned with two tracks: a science track forundergraduate students enrolled in the College ofLiberal Arts, and an engineering track for undergraduatestudents enrolled in the School ofEngineering.Core CurriculumBiology 1 Introduction to Biologyor Biology 13 Cells and OrganismsBiology 41 GeneticsChemical and Biological Engineering/Biology 62Molecular BiotechnologyOne laboratory course from:Biology 50 Experiments in Molecular BiologyChemical and Biological Engineering 163Recombinant DNA TechniquesChemical and Biological Engineering 168Biotechnology Processing Projects LaboratoryTrack curriculaSCIENCE TRACKTwo core courses:Biology 105 Molecular BiologyBiology 152 Biochemistry and Cellular MetabolismFour electives from an approved list provided bythe department.

One credit of research may becounted toward electives.CERTIFICATE PROGRAMSThe Chemical & Biological EngineeringDepartment offers three graduate-level certificateprograms to qualified students through the Officeof Graduate Studies. The certificate programs,Biotechnology, Biotechnology Engineering andBioengineering can be completed on a part-time,non-degree basis by students who are seeking professionaltraining in the field or preparing for adegree program. In most cases, courses taken as acertificate student can be transferred into a relatedmaster’s degree program. The programs are opento students who have already earned a bachelor’sdegree. Four courses are required for each certificate.A certificate builds on the strength of existingTufts courses and programs. As a certificate student,you have the flexibility to choose coursesthat were created exclusively for a certificate program,as well as the traditional Tufts graduate andundergraduate courses. In order to accommodateworking professionals’ schedules, most certificatecourses are offered in the late afternoon andevening.Certificate students may apply later for a108
