BA/BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

Bioengineering at Valparaiso University sits in the College of Engineering and joins engineering principles with knowledge of physiology. The curriculum ties biology and chemistry content closely to engineering topics so students apply scientific ideas right away. Students select among three tracks: biomechanics, bioelectrical, and biomedical engineering. ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission accredits the curriculum, and the department that runs it is by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering. The department describes its mission as grounding students in engineering basics and the liberal arts while developing people skills, learning by doing, and a habit of continued study. Graduates find roles in settings such as pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories. Prospective students can apply, request information, or schedule a campus visit through the university website, where the program page also lists degree requirements and sample course plans.
