The multidisciplinary undergraduate major in bioengineering is intended for academically strong students who excel in the physical sciences, mathematics, and biology. Revised in 2007, the structure ensures exposure to the breadth and depth of bioengineering subjects, while providing the necessary foundation in engineering and the physical and biological sciences. BioE graduates will be well positioned for careers in industry, further study in medical school, and/or graduate studies in bioengineering and related disciplines.

All students take bioengineering fundamentals courses in areas such as biomechanics, instrumentation, and computational biology, and will choose from a growing list of bioengineering topics for specialized advanced coursework. In addition, students will take BioE laboratory courses and complete a design or research project under faculty supervision.

More information is available on the detailed major requirements page.

The Bioengineering Department offers one major with seven concentrations:
• Biomaterials
• Biomechanics
• Biomedical Devices
• Cell & Tissue Engineering
• Computational Bioengineering
• Imaging
• Premed

Continuing Students - if you entered the bioengineering program before Fall 2007, different degree requirements may apply to you.
