Admission

Students who wish to complete the biomedical engineering major must apply for admission to the program. Admission to the University does not guarantee admission to the program. Students may apply to the program as early as their first semester at UNC. Most students apply to the program during their second semester. Admission to rising juniors will only be granted on a limited basis if space is available. Students who are not accepted to the program after their third semester should select a different major. Students who are interested in the program are encouraged to declare biomedical engineering intent.
