BA/BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is a four-year professional degree from the Department of Biomedical Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering. The curriculum aims to give students technical strength together with broader professional skills. The department states its goals for graduates plainly. They should be able to work in the biomedical engineering industry or allied areas, continue to advanced study such as a master's or doctorate, or move on to professional schools in areas like medicine, dentistry, and law. Student outcomes describe what graduates should be able to do by the end of the program. These include identifying and solving complex engineering problems using principles from engineering, science, and mathematics, and applying engineering design to produce solutions that account for public health and other considerations.
