The mission of the undergraduate programs is to provide state-of-the-art biomedical engineering education to students in order that they may continue their education in graduate, medical, and professional schools or pursue careers in industry. To this end, our responsibility is as much to the future as it is to the present. Through a strong research and educational environment, we strive to empower our students to explore and define their own frontiers as well as instill the ethical principles that will foster rewarding professional endeavors. The B.S. in Biomedical Engineering degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org under the General Criteria and Program Criteria for Bioengineering and Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The biomedical engineering program normally leads to the Bachelor of Science degree and requires at least 129 credits. The B.S. program is recommended for students who plan careers in engineering or who plan to attend graduate school in engineering. If a student wishes to take a more flexible program with less emphasis on engineering, a B.A. program is also available. Either the B.S. or the B.A. program can meet the needs of a student who plans graduate study in a nonengineering area.

The undergraduate program provides a strong foundation in mathematics, engineering, and science. It emphasizes preparation for advanced study in an area related to biomedical engineering and is broad enough to accommodate students who plan graduate work in biology, medicine, engineering, biophysics, physiology, or biomedical engineering.
