Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines the math, physics and engineering courses typical of an engineering degree with coursework in the life sciences focusing on biology and medicine. The field encompasses a wide range of specialties, from pharmaceuticals and drug delivery systems to medical device development to software and programming.

Because biomedical engineering is a broad field, graduates have a wide range of employment and career options. Biomedical engineers can be found working in all aspects of medicine, from device design to pharmaceuticals to research and development to rehabilitation. Because of our strong focus on electrical engineering, graduates of our biomedical engineering degree program will be well prepared for careers that involve designing and working with medical devices. A bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering is also a strong foundation for other health care careers, including training to become a doctor, sales and marketing for a medical device company, or management. Many biomedical engineering graduates also choose to go to graduate school to prepare them for a career in research and device development.
