Within the Biomedical Engineering curriculum (General Course Sequence and Course Map) are a series of suggested focus areas that have been formulated and are designed to enable students to acquire in depth knowledge in their chosen area of interest. Students may choose from among the focus areas pre-approved by the Roy J. Carver Department of Biomedical Engineering.
The Pre-Approved Focus Areas:
Each focus area can have a pre-medicine designation. Students may tailor their elective course selection to achieve a goal outside of those implicit to the pre-approved focus areas, as long as the course selections show coherence, focus, and purpose.
All students should consult with their departmental advisor and submit for approval a Plan of Study to the BME Undergraduate Curriculum Committee by the end of the student's fourth semester of study. Requests should be submitted via the online Plan of Study Form.
