BA/BS in Biomedical/Medical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in biomedical engineering applies engineering principles to problems in medicine and biology. It is offered within the College of Engineering. The program requires a minimum of 128 to 129 credit hours, including 49 hours of major courses. Students complete the general education program, take ethics in engineering or biomedical engineering, and build a base in chemistry, calculus and differential equations. Prerequisite courses for biomedical engineering classes must be passed with a minimum grade point average, and the major courses are held to the same standard. Wichita State University offers the degree on its Wichita campus, and students should consult their academic advisor early to plan the sequence of courses across the semesters. Details of the curriculum and current requirements are listed in the university catalog entry for this program.
