Overview

A hallmark of the MP.S Agriculture and Life Sciences (Biological and Environmental Engineering) programme delivered by Cornell University is the balanced portfolio of technical knowledge, analytical skills, and professional development built into the curriculum, designed to equip students with the skill set and knowledge necessary for careers in industry, government, or non-profit agencies.

Key Facts

Capstone Project (2-6 credit hours): With the guidance of a faculty advisor, students work on solving a collaborative project and/or a real-world problem.
