About the course

At the intersection of engineering, biology, and chemistry, you?ll discover bioengineering. Bioengineering is one of the fastest-growing engineering disciplines, with a high demand in the medical sector. Bioengineers design and develop devices, systems, and techniques to improve patient diagnosis, treatment, and care. They utilize biotechnology to produce personalized drugs, to make biofuels and biopolymers, to engineer tissues to replace damaged organs, to grow human tissue for drug testing, and to create new diagnostic techniques. Bioengineering is creating its own frontiers of development. You?ll join a new generation of innovators and leaders in fields with significant and growing employment opportunities including health care, public health, biomanufacturing, and biomedical engineering. The department also offers a BS degree in bioengineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering.

　　The accelerated BS/MS program in Bioengineering is an integrated degree program in which qualified students can earn a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering (BNG) and a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering & Biotechnology (BMEBT) in five years. The credit hour requirements are 120 for the B.S. and 31 for M.S. students. Students enrolled in this program can take up to nine (9) credits (three 500?level or higher graduate courses) from the BMEBT-approved graduate courses approved as BS BNG Specializations. These courses will also be double-counted towards the MS program, thereby reducing the overall time required for the MS degree completion. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
