Biomedical Engineering Minor

This minor is intended for undergraduate engineering students seeking to supplement their education by applying skills learned in their respective disciplines to the field of biomedical engineering (BME). The emphasis on upper level BME courses builds upon the foundation taught in core undergraduate engineering courses. Beyond the one required course, students pursuing this minor will choose at least five elective courses in consultation with a Biomedical Engineering faculty advisor. Students and their Biomedical Engineering faculty advisor may select courses providing concentration in a particular subfield, or they may select courses providing breadth across the field of biomedical engineering.

The minor in Biomedical Engineering requires: a) at least 18 credit hours of course work; b) a GPA of 2.5 or greater in these courses; and c) no grade lower than C in any BME course. At the discretion of the BME department chair (or designee), a limited number (maximum 6 credit hours) of equivalent course substitutions may be used. At least 12 credit hours must have the BME prefix.
