Biomedical Engineering

Welcome to Biomedical Engineering!

Biomedical engineers bridge the gap between medicine and engineering.

The program at CUA prepares our students for this evolving field by teaching them how to apply core engineering principles to

• invent and advance technologies to diagnose medical conditions
• assist with rehabilitation
• improve the lives of people with disabilities and/or chronic illness.

Our program offers students unique opportunities to work in nationally renowned laboratories in the greater D.C area. These include the FDA, National Institutes of Health, National Rehabilitation Hospital, and many more.

Students can complete all premed requirements while obtaining a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering... in just four years!
