Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles and techniques to address challenges in medicine and biology. Students pursue this field to help others, engage with living systems, and implement cutting-edge technology in healthcare.
A biomedical engineering degree builds a solid grounding in engineering, math, chemistry, and biology, equipping students to tackle intricate medical engineering issues. Through rigorous lectures, students gain essential knowledge for careers in biomedical engineering, medical school, or graduate studies. Lab courses involve students in resolving complex biomedical problems, enhancing communication skills, and collaborating in dynamic team settings.
A strong high school background is crucial for engineering education. Prospective biomedical engineering students should complete at least one semester of trigonometry and one year each of basic algebra, intermediate and advanced algebra, plane geometry, chemistry, and physics to maximize their readiness for challenging college courses like calculus, calculus-based physics, and chemistry for science majors. Additionally, students must be capable of rapid reading comprehension and clear, accurate writing.
All applicants are reviewed individually and holistically. Consideration is given to factors such as:
TOEFL iBT (Internet-based): 80; TOEFL (Paper-based): 550; IELTS 6.5; PTE 67; ELS Language Centers: Pass Level 112; Duolingo English Test: 105.
Application Deadline: Fall term - December 1 (Priority); May 1 (Regular).
