STUDY IN THE PLACE WHERE BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY WAS BORN
BIKE HELMET Robots for eye surgery, implantable defibrillators, artificial organs and tissues, prosthetics and bicycle helmets. Thanks to biomedical engineering, these and other devices and systems help us not only live better lives, but longer ones. By applying engineering methods to solve medical and biological problems, biomedical engineering aims to improve our quality of life.

THREE MAJORS: Biocomputing, Bioelectronics and Biomechanics

THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

ENGINEERING PROBLEMS SOLVED. With your senior-year capstone course, you and fellow classmates will be on a design team commissioned to solve real biomedical problems.

TAKE YOUR DEGREE FARTHER. You can complete two degrees in five years through Marquette’s unique combined bachelor’s and master’s degree program, or join the 15 percent of our graduates who enter medical school following graduation.

BE AN ENGINEER BEFORE YOU GRADUATE. Seventy-five percent of our biomedical engineers either co-op or intern while they’re undergraduates — one of the highest percentages in the nation.

BME IN D.C. Learn about biomedical research and regulatory issues at the FDA through internships at Marquette’s Les Aspin Center for Government in Washington, D.C.
