Dual Bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering & Nursing
Biomedical Engineering and Nursing
Become a Nurse Engineer
As a biomedical engineer, you will be charged with advancing health care treatment
for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Having a health care background with clinical
experience, especially in Nursing, can greatly enhance your ability to solve clinical
problems. Nurses are in the best position to assess the functional health status and
technology needs of patients.
Our program is the first dual undergraduate degree program in Biomedical Engineering
and Nursing in the U.S. The dual format is cost effective as it provides additional
clinical knowledge and skills via a holistic nursing approach. During this five-year
program, you will not only gain a deep clinical perspective, but you will also solve
real clinical problems and learn to develop technologies such as those that:
Assist patients and create efficiencies for nurses in the hospital, outpatient and
home care arenas.
Are lifesaving and cost effective for developing countries.

to work in a research hospital doing cardiovascular and pulmonary research.
Program Information
The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Nursing
five-year, onsite program will prepare you to become a nurse engineer. This dual degree
program integrates and applies nursing clinical knowledge and engineering principles
to solve health care problems and improve health outcomes.
I work closely with my professors on areas that really matter to me. There are
a lot of opportunities to improve health care with regenerative medicine. We look
at how we can aid the body to heal itself. It’s a field with a lot of exciting opportunities.
