BA/BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

This engineering major applies the principles of design and analysis to medicine and health care, where new equipment and procedures keep making conditions easier to manage. Graduates receive a BS. Students work in the modern facilities of NIU's engineering college and take on projects alongside classmates from related fields. Optional faculty research ranges widely, from tiny-scale materials to worldwide processes, so learners can match their interests. The program suits people who enjoy both science and helping others. Career-readiness support, transfer pathways and a free application with renewable merit scholarship consideration are part of the NIU undergraduate experience. Students receive guidance as they plan their courses, and advisors can explain how earlier college credit may apply. The combination of classroom learning, outside involvement and career preparation is intended to leave graduates ready for work or for the next stage of education.
