Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering academic curriculum is completely integrated with that of the St.Louis campus in Missouri.

Students can transfer freely between the two campuses over the course of their undergraduate degree program.

A student who enrolls in a bachelor's degree Biomedical Engineering program in Madrid will normally spend the first two years in Madrid and then transfer directly to the St.Louis campus in Missouri to finish the final two years of the degree program. However, students can transfer the academic credits they earn while studying in Madrid to other U.S. universities, should they so wish.

Academic courses are offered in English at the Madrid campus.

Spanish and international students normally enroll in the intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) program during their first year of study.

Special attributes of this program

• A major component of the undergraduate curriculum is a three-semester sequence of molecular physiology. This is a new and unique approach to presenting the basic principles of the biological sciences to students in engineering. The classroom and laboratory experiences address principles and techniques at the level of cells, molecules and organs, with an overall emphasis on the human.

• A final hands-on experience in the senior year is called the senior project. This year-long project may be explored as an individual, but more likely the projects involve groups of students from biomedical engineering, other engineering or computer science departments, biological or medical departments, or engineers from corporations.

• The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the agency for accreditation of engineering curricula in the U.S.

• Core courses in the humanities, cultural diversity, ethics, theological foundations, and social sciences complement the engineering curriculum.

• A blend of science, engineering, and non-technical courses provides a well rounded education in Biomedical Engineering and prepares students for serving humanity as engineers.
