Options within the Degree Program

Biomechanics Concentration

A Biomechanics Concentration can be earned by following choosing a few specific courses in this area. The BS is still 128 credit hours in length, but the List 1 and List 2 course choices are limited to those shown when you select Biomechanical Engineering under Useful Links on the Curriculum page and the senior design track must be Biomechanical (ME 643). Upon completion of this plan, the Biomechanics Concentration will be noted on your degree transcript.

Pre-Medical Option

For those planning to use the BS-ME to then apply to medical school, the ME Department has a 143 credit hour program which provides that preparation. The plan is outlined on the Curriculum Page under Useful Links.
