Odds of Getting In
A piece of paper is worth about two cents—unless it says you graduated with a major in biosystems engineering...in which case it's worth a well-paying job straight outta college.
Have you heard about biofuels? No? Are you living under a rock? The world needs new sources of energy, and biosystems engineers are some of the few qualified people who can help with that. The world also needs clean sources of water and safe, sustainable sources of food.
Biosystems engineers can help with all of that, too. If you're willing to move anywhere in the U.S., job placement for biosystems majors is nearly 100 percent (source).
