BSc in Biomedical Engineering (Honors) in Providence United States | Brown University

The Sc.B. in Biomedical Engineering is a collaborative program between the School of Engineering and the Division of Biology and Medicine, serving as an interdisciplinary concentration for students who want to use engineering techniques and tools to address biological and life science topics. This undergraduate biomedical engineering program operates as an independent concentration jointly managed by the School of Engineering and the Division of Biology and Medicine. Students have opportunities to enroll in courses and conduct research with faculty from engineering departments, various biology departments, and Brown's affiliated hospitals in Rhode Island. The curriculum focuses on core biomedical engineering principles while providing flexibility for students to tailor their studies. Biomedical engineering students gain the ability to apply engineering and scientific principles, along with problem-solving abilities and analytical thinking, to a wide range of engineering challenges.

Identifying a thesis advisor and Honors research project before the senior year begins is strongly advised. This task falls to the student. Those planning to complete an honors thesis should ideally start reaching out to potential advisors during their junior year or even sooner. While not mandatory, many students undertake research during the summer preceding their senior year.
