• The curricula in this program consist of interdisciplinary courses and many research opportunities for undergraduate students. Students can receive up to two academic credits for the participation in research sponsored by the biomedical engineering faculty. Examples of the areas of research include biomechanics, cardiac electrophysiology, neuroengineering, drug and gene delivery, medical imaging, tissue engineering, biosensors, biophotonics, genomic technology and biomaterials.
  • All engineering students at Duke University are required to declare a major in the sophomore year. Once their major is declared, BME majors are assigned to faculty advisors in the Department of Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering students who want to pursue additional areas of interest can also choose to have a double-major in biomedical engineering and either electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, or other disciplines in the Trinity College.
