Biomedical Engineering

Advisor: Students who are admitted to the College of Engineering should see their assigned advisor. Students in other schools and colleges should attend an information session.

Field of Study: The design of medical devices, instruments, and treatments and the application of engineering tools for solving problems in biology and medicine; an engineering discipline that is practiced by professionals trained primarily as engineers, who specialize in medical and biological applications.

Entry Requirements: All pre-engineering students (regardless of Engineering major) take the same basic science and math courses to satisfy the “General College Requirement (GCR)” and transfer into a degree-granting program as soon as they are eligible. Since space is limited, the admission criteria for BME are higher than the minimum required for other degree programs in the College of Engineering. As a result, applicants are asked to submit a supplemental statement after applying to the BME program – and consider this statement strongly when reviewing applicants.
