Bioresource Research (BS)
BioResource Research (BRR) is an interdisciplinary biosciences major centered around research aimed at understanding and protecting the planet's biological resources and exploring their novel and sustainable uses. BRR students complete a comprehensive mentored research experience, in a cutting-edge area of agricultural, biological, chemical, environmental, food, or health science. BRR faculty research mentors come from across OSU, as well as from extension stations and state and federal agencies. Each student’s upper-division curriculum is individualized based on choice of option and research project. In addition to research expertise, BRR students graduate with a strong background in biosciences, job training, and problem-solving and communication skills. These skills lead to careers in industrial or academic research, natural resource management, and graduate and professional programs in the life sciences and medicine.
