Department operating hours and contacts
Welcome to the Department of Bioengineering at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus. We are the first comprehensive bioengineer/biomedical engineering program in the State of Colorado and the only one located on a medical campus. This unique location allows students in our program to work directly with medical professionals and researchers that are the end users of engineered devices and therapeutics. The mission of our Department is to improve human health through the application of engineering principles, ideas, methods and inventions in order to solve important clinical problems. You can find out about our degree and certificate programs and research using the menu to the left.
I’m so grateful for the invaluable experiences I’ve had as a BS/MS bioengineering student at CU Denver/Anschutz. From hands-on lab work to engaging with STEM outreach programs like BEEP and SWE, I’ve found both a strong education and a supportive community. My advice to prospective students is to explore the niche areas that excite you—follow those opportunities, and you’ll naturally build a path filled with passion, discovery, and innovation. Engineering is challenging, but when you love what you do, the motivation and joy make it all worthwhile!
We are so thrilled and proud to acknowledge and celebrate Skylar Suarez and Alicia Tanneberger for their incredible achievements and contributions to the university!! Congratulations to both!! We are very proud of you!
