Biological Engineering (B.S.)
Biomedical Concentration

Biomedical Engineering is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field of engineering that integrates engineering and biomedical and life sciences to solve problems associated with the human body and human health. A formal Concentration in Biomedical Engineering is now offered at the B.S level in the Biological Engineering curriculum for students who chose to pursue Biomedical Engineering as a career. Biomedical Engineering programs are offered through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Bagley College of Engineering.

Students in the Biomedical Engineering Concentration will gain knowledge in biomechanics, biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, physiology, and other topics germane to the field. The undergraduate Biomedical Engineering Concentration is excellent preparation for students wishing to pursue graduate studies in Biomedical Engineering. The Biomedical Engineering Concentration is listed as a separate curriculum option and is recorded on the student's transcripts.
