This was the last edition that included breakdowns by individual majors. Does the VU biomedical engineering program offer any options or special programs?
There are several options available for biomedical engineering students including specialty courses, pre-medical preparation, an honors program, internships, double majors, and minors. The curriculum affords students the flexibility to design a sequence of electives that focuses on their individual area(s) of interest. Of the 20 hours of program elective courses, students select at least eleven hours of BME specialty courses such as imaging, biomedical optics, cellular bioengineering, biotechnology, and modeling. Remaining elective hours are taken in additional BME specialty courses, other engineering courses including management of technology, sciences, and mathematics. This approach also allows premedical students to complete requirements for medical school admission following a well-established pre-medical/B.E. in BME curriculum. Double majors between BME and Electrical Engineering and between BME and Chemical Engineering are also available as are four formal minors within the Schoo
