Biomedical engineering (BME) applies engineering principles, scientific knowledge, and technological innovations to address challenges in healthcare and medicine. Professionals in this field create and engineer biomedical tools, systems, and methods for both basic research and practical medical applications. Our educational program integrates mathematics, sciences, engineering fundamentals, design thinking, and liberal arts to equip biomedical engineers for advancing human health.
Vanderbilt's biomedical engineering program has been a trailblazer, granting the bachelor of engineering degree in this discipline since 1968. It was among the earliest programs established and continues to rank among the nation's most prestigious. The undergraduate curriculum holds accreditation from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), Inc.
All candidates for admission must present transcripts of work completed in high school.
