Biomedical Engineering Concentration (15 credits)

This concentration is for students who are interested in an exciting, multidisciplinary field that lies at the interface of medicine, biology and engineering. Biomedical engineers use engineering principles to analyze and solve problems in biology and medicine, providing an overall enhancement to healthcare. At the same time, biomedical engineers employ concepts learned from biology and medicine to generate new engineering designs.

Students must apply for the Biomedical Engineering Minor to enroll in BMEN restricted courses. Other restricted CEAS courses may require submission of the Course Request Form. Students wishing to complete a Biomedical Engineering Minor may need to complete additional coursework. Please see the Biomedical Engineering Minor website for details.
