Courses

Courses for this program are 100% online: no campus visits are required.

Successful completion of the program requires 30 credit hours of course work. Courses are 3 credit hours each, unless stated otherwise.

Course planner

The chart below shows when the courses are traditionally offered. The University reserves the right to change or cancel courses as needed. Asterisked courses may be simultaneously applied toward both the master’s program and toward the graduate certificate in life science innovation and entrepreneurship.

Note: The MS in biological engineering is non-thesis. The program may include up to 3 credits of research classes, but it is not required.

Graduate certificates

Students wishing to earn a graduate certificate while they complete their master's degree must submit a Graduate Certificate Plan of Study form to the Office of Graduate Studies for the graduate certificate to be posted on the Mizzou transcript; please note that some graduate certificates may have additional admission or completion requirements.

In many cases, however, many of the courses in these certificates may be simultaneously applied to both the certificate and the master’s program; please review the certificate requirements carefully or speak with your advisor for more information. Many students in this program find the following certificates of interest:
