BS in Biomedical Engineering
Degree Program Description
The Biomedical Engineering undergraduate degree program offers four tracks from which our students can develop their primary expertise: bioinformatics, biomedical imaging and instrumentation, biomaterials, and biomechanics. In collaboration with colleagues from the School of Medicine, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the College of Health Sciences, the Sinclair School of Nursing, the Honors College, and the College of Engineering, we develop students into engineering leaders with skills in creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation, engineering design, communication, entrepreneurship, and team-building. Our award-winning faculty offer exceptional classes and research experiences for our students, and our flexible, tracked curriculum integrates easily with the pre-medicine and Honors Certificate programs, as well as a number of accelerated plans to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degrees at MU.
Biomedical engineering is a science-based engineering discipline that integrates engineering and biomedical sciences in one curriculum. The MU biomedical engineering program is a broad-based curriculum that prepares students for careers in traditional engineering as well as medicine, veterinary medicine, law, health care, policy, and academics. Biomedical engineering graduates are hired by biotechnology, medical, and pharmaceutical companies, as well as by government agencies and major research laboratories. Many of our undergraduate students attend graduate, medical, or law schools post-graduation. Graduates are well-prepared to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam during their senior year, which is the first step toward obtaining a Professional Engineer license; many additionally take the MCAT, the LSAT, and the GRE in preparation for their graduate or professional studies.
Major Program Requirements
The curriculum encompasses basic sciences, social and behavioral sciences, humanities and fine arts, engineering sciences and topics, and program core courses. The core courses cover topics of biomedical engineering principles and design. In a capstone design course sequence, each student completes a design project under the direction of a faculty mentor. Technical electives allow students to place emphasis on biomaterials, biomechanics, bioinformatics, and biomedical imaging and instrumentation.
Students earning a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering are required to complete all University general education, University undergraduate requirements, degree, and major requirements, including selected foundational courses, which may fulfill some University general education requirements. All pre-requisites required for Basic Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, and Technical Elective courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better. Courses designated a core biomedical engineering course must be completed with a grade of C- or better.
Students are also required to complete one 3-hour cultural awareness course which is selected from an approved cultural awareness course list, created and maintained by the College of Engineering or which meets the Arts and Science (A&S) diversity intensive (DI) requirement.

Accelerated BS to MS in Biological Engineering
The accelerated option will allow students to earn a BS in Biomedical Engineering and an MS in Biological Engineering within five years. Eligible students who have completed at least 90 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and higher. The academic requirements of the accelerated MS program will require a total of 30 credit hours to graduate. Accepted undergraduate students can take 12 hours of graduate level courses that will count toward both the undergraduate and the graduate degrees. Once the student has completed 127 credit hours, the corresponding bachelor’s degree will be conferred and they will become graduate students in our MS programs to complete the remaining 18 hours of graduate credit. A minimum of 15 credit hours must be from courses at the 8000 level or above.
Total credits required for graduation must be at least 138 total credit hours:
- Total undergraduate credit hours: 127
- Total dual enrollment credit hours: 12
- Total graduate credit hours: 30

Thesis/Non-Thesis Options
All MS students must complete an independent research project supervised by their faculty advisors. Students can choose a thesis (MST) or non-thesis (MSNT) option to complete the masters degree. Both require a total of 30 graduate credit hours and a research project. MST students can take 6 to 12 credit hours of masters research and are required to complete a masters thesis conforming to the Graduate School thesis specifications. MSNT students must take a minimum of 27 credit hours of graduate courses, excluding research and problems courses, and complete a project report approved by the examination committee. During their last semester in the program, students must defend their thesis or project report in front of an examination committee composed of their graduate advisor and at least two other faculty members.

Degree Audit
The degree audit is an automated report reflecting a student’s academic progress toward the completion of a degree.
MU students can request a degree audit by logging in to myDegreePlanner. Students may also access myDegreePlanner via myZou, in the Student Center, click on the Academic Progress Tile, then select Request Degree Audit. The audit automatically pulls in the student’s MU course work, transfer courses and courses in progress. This is available to current students, admitted students, and those who last attended less than three terms ago.
Past MU students can request a degree audit by contacting the Academic Advising Unit of the division in which they were last enrolled at MU. For contact information, go to https://advising.missouri.edu/contact/.
Prospective students, can access a preliminary MU degree audit via https://www.transferology.com. Information on the college credits already earned will have to be manually entered before it can be evaluated against current degree requirements.
For additional details on degree audits, go to https://registrar.missouri.edu/degrees-audits/degree-audits/.
