Biomedical engineering involves the application of core physics and engineering principles to the medical field. It combines engineering concepts with biological and medical science to impove public health. Biomedical engineering is a fairly new and broad discipline with applications in medical imaging, bioinformatics, biomechanics, biomaterials, and many more. The concentration in biomedical engineering includes eight required courses and three elective courses. The required courses are listed below along with elective course options.

This concentration has been designed to also accomodate pre-professional students interested in medical school. For those who plan to continue on to medical school, we suggest taking an additional four courses in biology and chemistry. Those courses are listed below.

The semester-by-semester breakdown for the biomedical concentration for current students can be found here. Students following the 2009-2011 MSU Bulletin, including all new students, should click here.
