The Saint Louis University School of Science and Engineerings 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 participate in several academic programs across campus, including the Medical Scholars Program and the University Honors Program.
Program Highlights
- As a student in the biomedical engineering program at SLU, you will be challenged to integrate your knowledge of the biological and physical sciences with the engineering skills you are developing by participating in hands-on projects inside and outside the classroom.
- You will graduate prepared for many careers in the health care industry, ranging from fundamental research in science and engineering to the direct application of your knowledge to improve health and the overall quality of life for humanity.
- Biomedical engineering majors at SLU can complete certificates, minors or second majors in various disciplines ranging from the liberal arts or science to business or technology.
The program also offers a minor for students interested in developing a focused study within biomedical engineering.
Curriculum Overview
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.
