The information and program qualifications related to the Bioengineering (Montana State University) International Joint Degree Programmes, under the Department of None of the Faculty of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering, are summarized below.
Information About The Program
Bioengineering focuses on the application of engineering principles to the desing, constraction and analysis of biological systems and therefore is a multidiciplanary education that integrates mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology, medicine and engineering. Bioengineers are involved in any field relevant with “bio”, i.e., “life” and play an important role in the main areas such as medicine, genetics, food, agriculture, environment, and energy. Bioengineers are part of the important cornerstones which spans from cloning to artificial organ fabrication.
Bioengineering, started in 2006 is a dual-diploma and paid program being carried out by İstanbul Technical Universtiy (ITU) and Montana State University (MSU). The main aim of the program is to educate international level bioengineers. Students complete half of their degree work at each university. The freshman and junior courses are taught by ITU, sophomore and senior courses are taught by MSU. For graduation, the students must meet the program requirements of both partner universtities. The language of courses offered in the program are English. Thus, students are required to achieve a score of 48 on the PTE or 71 on the TOEFL iBT. If necessary one year pre-freshman intensive English language preparation is provided by ITU. Upon successful completion of program each student is awarded two diplamas; one from ITU an done from MSU.

Program Profile
The ITU-MSU Bioengineering Program is an international joint undergraduate program between Istanbul Technical University (ITU) and Montana State University (MSU), based on a year-sharing model. Approved by the Turkish Council of Higher Education (YÖK), the program is a tuition-based, dual-degree initiative aimed at educating internationally qualified bioengineers in the field of bioengineering.
Students who successfully complete the program are awarded two bachelor's degrees: one from the Bioengineering Program of Istanbul Technical University and another from the Bioengineering Program of Montana State University.
