Biomedical Engineering BS

University at Buffalo · Buffalo, NY

A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

Description
Are you interested in biology, medicine and engineering but can’t decide which one to pick? UB’s biomedical engineering (BME) program lets you explore all of your interests in one do-it-all major. If you get excited about things like making 3D models of the brain to improve cancer care, designing wearable medical sensors, and using artificial intelligence to prevent cardiac deaths-and you’re good at science and math-then BME could be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
