(Organic Chemistry). Students must submit an
application (available online and at the BME office)
for admission into the BSBME program before
December 1st of their freshman year. Admission to
the program is merit-based. Of the students that
will apply, a limited number of students will be
admitted into the program according to the
following merit criteria:
• The applicant’s first-semester grade point
average, including a grade of A for each course
in points 2–4 above for which the applicant
has received AP credit and has enrolled in a
more advanced course in the same discipline in
the first term.
• For those students who enroll in ES 93-10
(Introduction to Biomedical Engineering)
their performance in that course.
The department will notify students of their
acceptance into the program during the winter
break of their freshman year. Students who are
admitted into the program are required to formally
confirm their intention to enroll into the program
by notifying the department in writing by February
15th of their freshman year. In case one or more
students decline admission into the program, they
may be replaced by other applicants based upon the
above merit criteria.
A sample course schedule for the B.S.B.M.E.
program (38 credits) is listed below. Of the
thirty-eight course credits required for the professional
degrees accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET, a minimum
of 9.5 course credits must be completed in college
level math and basic science subjects appropriate to
the discipline and a minimum of 14.5 course credits
must be completed in engineering topics, consistent
with ABET general and program criteria.
