The Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees place emphasis on research and development. The Master of Biosystems Engineering Program places emphasis on design and usually includes an internship. We have three general options or areas for study. None of the Department's degrees have a set curriculum requirement. Students working with their advisor develop a plan of study that include courses from engineering, mathematics, computer science, statistics, agriculture and related disciplines that will suit their particular needs and interests.
Individual research is the most important element in our graduate program.
It allows students to develop a close working relationship with the faculty, a hallmark of our program. We prided ourselves in our excellent research labs . Graduates of the Biosystems Engineering program at Oklahoma State University find a variety of jobs and include university faculty, private companies and government agencies. Our graduates can be found in almost every state in the United States and many foreign countries. Students with undergraduate degrees in closely-related fields such as chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics or other engineering disciplines are also invited to apply for admission to our graduate program.
