Johns Hopkins University Whiting School of Engineering 89 courses 129 total credits
Students seeking a B.S. degree focus their engineering electives on one of seven subspecialties that incorporates traditional engineering disciplines and biomedical applications. See the Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate website for additional information. Highly motivated engineering and science majors students who wish to pursue advanced studies in biomedical engineering may pursue the BS/MSE program. Undergraduates will apply no later than the fall of their senior year. For more information, visit the Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate website. Students in a WSE combined bachelorβs/masterβs program should refer to the academic policies outlined in the Graduate Academic Policies and Procedures website for guidance on school-wide policies, including how courses may be double-counted towards both degrees.
