Accreditation: ABET Accredited

The Department of Biomedical Engineering is the first program of its kind in Colorado, offering students unparalleled opportunities as they learn and work on Colorado’s only academic medical campus. The combination of technical learning, immersive experiences in the clinical and biomedical enterprise beyond the classroom, and out-of-classroom opportunities to learn about cutting-edge patient care and research, is provided by only a handful of universities across the United States. Students have opportunities to learn from clinicians and engineers and to perform research or medical device design in world-class hospitals and clinical research labs.

Biomedical engineering is a true dual-campus department and program. Administratively, the Department of Biomedical engineering is within the College of Engineering, Design and Computing, located on the Downtown Campus (DC) at CU Denver. Physically, the department is located on the Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC) in Aurora.

Why BS in Biomedical engineering at CU Denver?

 

First Biomedical engineering Program in Colorado

The Department of Biomedical engineering was the first Biomedical engineering program in the state of Colorado.

Dual Campus

Undergraduates complete their first two years of core and prerequisite requirements at CU Denver, and their final two years at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. The curriculum incorporates hands-on design experience beginning freshman year and continues through the junior and senior year.

Esteemed Faculty

Faculty have joint appointments with Children's Hospital Colorado, the CU School of Medicine, University of Colorado Hospital, the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, and the Center for Biomedical engineering, which gives our students the opportunity to learn from clinicians and engineers and perform research or medical-device design in world-class hospitals and clinical research labs.

BS to MS Program

Students can apply to the MS Biomedical engineering program during their junior year. The GRE and application fee is waived and students can incorporate mater's level coursework into their senior year of undergraduate coursework.
