Bioengineering Major Concentration - Pre-med

New technology has always played an important role in fueling advances in both the biomedical sciences and the practice of clinical medicine. Increasingly, clinical practice demands the ability to understand and assimilate tools developed by engineers, such as sophisticated implantable devices, high-resolution imaging methods, and bioanalytical diagnostic systems. Undergraduate study in bioengineering offers outstanding preparation for a career in modern medicine. 

The Bioengineering Pre-Medical track enables students to take all courses commonly required for admission to medical school while completing a B.S. in Bioengineering. This includes one year of biology (with laboratory), one year of general/inorganic chemistry (with laboratory), one year of general physics (with laboratory), one year of organic chemistry (with laboratory), and six semesters (19 credits) of humanities and social sciences. In addition, students have the opportunity to take advanced technical electives in areas of biology, chemistry, and bioengineering that provide preparation for careers in medicine, including physiology, immunology, biochemistry, biomedical devices, and much more.
