BA/BS in Biomedical Engineering

AIU frames its Biomedical Engineering program around training graduates who can treat the human body as a complex system, viewing disease and injury as breakdowns within that system and medical interventions as engineered alternatives for repairing it. The curriculum blends traditional engineering principles with the life sciences from the earliest coursework onward, so biomedical sciences are integrated continuously rather than bolted on as a separate track. The department frames its mission around training the next cohort of biomedical engineers and advancing research that addresses pressing healthcare challenges, working alongside industry and healthcare partners on current technologies. AIU positions the field as one of engineering's fastest-expanding disciplines, driven by an aging population and rising medical costs that increase demand for engineers who can trace how injury and disease mechanically arise in the body and design practical interventions that reduce the overall cost of care to society.
