Biomedical Engineering



Request More Info

Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and methods to define and solve problems in medicine and biology.

Students choose the biomedical engineering field to be of service to people, for the challenge of working with living systems and to apply advanced technology to healthcare delivery. Focus areas include biomedical, bioenvironmental, bioprocessing, or biomechanical.

Many graduates go on to medical school or graduate school, but others will work in consulting, government agencies, biomedical firms, or even technical sales.

Can I Transfer?

Our Associate of Applied Science degrees and certificates may not fully transfer to a four year college or university.

  • If your goal is to transfer, you may want to explore our Core Corriculum and Transfer Pathways.
  • You may also want to explore a transfer degree, like an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science.
  • The classes you take will count towards a bachelor's degree and are designed to be accepted by any public college or university in Texas.

If you're not sure if this is the right choice for you, you can talk to a Pathway Specialist for guidance.
