BS Engineering - Biomedical
The Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineering's Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering (BME) focuses on the principles of both engineering and medicine.
The flexibility of our biomedical engineering program means it can accommodate students with a wide variety of interests. Students majoring in biomedical engineering at SLU undergraduates participate in several academic programs across campus, including the Medical Scholars Program and the University Honors Program.
The program also offers a minor for students interested in developing a focused study within biomedical engineering.
SLU has developed an innovative, future-focused biomedical engineering program that incorporates the latest trends in the industry to address the current and future needs of the profession and our society. Our B.S. degree in biomedical engineering is designed with three tracks to accommodate our students' different career paths after graduation: pre-health, graduate school, and industry. Biomedical engineering courses and laboratory experiences at SLU provide a broad fundamental preparation for any of these paths.
The program is designed to provide a biomedical engineering focus in all core engineering classes, informed by research, into the student experience from the very beginning. The major also offers considerable flexibility, allowing for electives within and outside the program.
Many laboratory experiences coincide with courses in the basic sciences and engineering.
Each biomedical engineering student at SLU completes a senior capstone design project, a hands-on experience. This year-long project may be explored as an individual, but the projects most often involve groups of students from biomedical engineering, other engineering or computer science departments, biological or medical departments, or engineers from corporations. The capstone course is designed to fully embed the student in a project that will challenge even the exceptional student to integrate their previous training and develop their abilities as an engineer.
