Biomedical Engineering

There is no undergraduate program in Biomedical Engineering.  If a student wishes to pursue graduate work in Biomedical he/she should follow the prescribed courses for the area that most closely fits their interests.  For example, a student interested in biomechanics should take the courses listed above for Mechanical Engineers, a student interested in drug delivery should follow the Chemical Engineering path, and a student interested in imaging or signals should take the courses listed for Electrical Engineering.
