Biomedical Engineering
The UofM Biomedical Engineering program offers multiple pathways to undergraduate (B.S.) and graduate (M.S., Ph.D.) degrees, and our 14 faculty actively engage students in several areas of biomedical research. Our undergraduates can tailor the curriculum toward their preferred focus area (with pre-med and dual-degree options as well), and our graduate program is jointly housed with UT Health Science Center's Dept of Orthopaedic Surgery. Our ABET-accredited program continues to grow in size, scope, and impact, with a strong record of post-graduate success for our students.
