BA/BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The biomedical engineering major, a Bachelor of Science, combines engineering design with biological and medical knowledge. Students build a base in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, then move into courses on computer programming, artificial intelligence, simulation of biological systems, and statics and dynamics. The curriculum is designed to teach students how engineers approach and solve problems in healthcare settings. Later years emphasize engineering design and broad problem solving, and a computational biology certificate is available for students who want additional depth. The Thrive in Five program allows academically talented juniors to take graduate-level classes for dual credit toward both degrees. Co-ops and internships are also available for paid, full-time experience. Graduates commonly enter medical device, clinical, regulatory, and research roles, or continue into graduate study.
