Biological engineering is a growing field that merges scientific concepts with engineering fundamentals. Utah State University's program equips students with core engineering expertise and analytical abilities applicable across diverse sectors such as healthcare, legal fields, agriculture, environmental sciences, and beyond.
USU's biological engineering curriculum emphasizes hands-on research with practical applications to address real-world challenges. All first-year students take an introductory research course that exposes them to faculty projects and potential lab involvement opportunities early in their academic journey.
As students progress toward graduation, they specialize in specific research areas. Many undergraduates achieve notable accomplishments including presenting at national symposiums, publishing in academic journals, and developing patentable innovations.
This ABET-accredited program through the Engineering Accreditation Commission boasts exceptional outcomes, with nearly perfect first-time pass rates on the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (typically taken in junior year) - significantly surpassing the national average of approximately 50%. USU engineering graduates also enjoy outstanding employment rates post-graduation.
