Biomedical Engineering

Our Academics

Biomedical engineering combines the innovative skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare, from diagnostics to treatment. Our students learn how to apply engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology to progress healthcare around the world. Our graduates work at medical device and biotech companies, research labs, governmental agencies, hospitals and have become leaders in various fields of the healthcare industry.

Undergraduate Programs

Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (B.S.)

Our Bachelor of Science program provides you with a strong foundation in the core areas of biomedical engineering such as biomaterials, tissue engineering, biomechanics, and biochemical engineering. The BS curriculum integrates the study of engineering design and analysis with concepts in medicine and biology and prepares you for a career as a licensed engineer in the pharmaceutical and medical device industry as well as graduate and medical school.


Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (B.A.)

 Our Bachelor of Arts program provides a technical and broad-based natural science foundation in the field of biomedical engineering. The BA curriculum balances fundamental engineering courses with specialty electives that provide flexibility to develop expertise in both biomedical engineering and an allied area of interest such as business, data analysis, writing, or the humanities. It prepares you for a technical career in the healthcare industry, as well as graduate, medical, and law school. 


Graduate Programs

Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering (Ph.D.)

Our 60 semester-hour doctoral program prepares graduates of the program to meet the growing demands for advanced level research, development and entrepreneurial positions in the biomedical industry. You will focus on specialized research to improve health with a dissertation that leads to a Ph.D.


Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering (M.S.)

Our 30 semester-hour program includes a thesis and serves traditional chemical and mechanical engineers who wish to obtain advanced training in biological areas or science majors who wish to receive quantitative training to enhance their qualifications for industry or medical practice.


Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (M.E.)

Our 30 semester-hour M.E. degree program offers intensive, focused training in the professional practice of biomedical engineering. The program is specifically designed for students who plan to pursue industrial careers where a graduate degree could enhance their job applications, yield higher starting salaries, and enable rapid promotion within many corporate structures.
