Undergraduate degree programs

Biomedical engineering is where technology meets medicine.

Do you want to learn how to design medical devices, develop new therapies and create technologies that improve lives?

From wearable health tech and artificial organs to virtual reality rehabilitation systems and brain-machine interfaces, biomedical engineers work on ideas that once sounded impossible.

At ASU, you’ll learn through hands-on projects, research opportunities and collaborations with hospitals, research centers and industry partners across the Phoenix area. You’ll work alongside faculty members who are advancing health care innovation while exploring your own interests in medicine, biotechnology and engineering.

If you’re curious about how science and technology can solve real human challenges, biomedical engineering at ASU can help you turn your ideas into impact.

Turn a bold idea into a device that could save lives.

What if the health solution the world needs is sitting in your head right now?

With ASU’s biomedical engineering, BSE program, you’ll master both engineering and life sciences, then fuse them together to engineer real, working prototypes of biomedical devices that end up in hospitals, labs, and lives.

If you’re fascinated by life at the cellular level, this concentration puts that curiosity to work.

You’ll develop deep expertise in cell biology and learn to apply it to real engineering challenges in medicine, synthetic biology, and beyond — designing solutions in areas like immunohistochemical diagnostics, blood-contacting materials, and controlled-release therapeutics.

Got a health solution brewing in your head? This concentration gives you the knowledge to actually build it.

You may have an idea, or you may just want to see what we are up to, but either way, you’ll bridge engineering and life sciences to take an idea all the way from concept to working prototype, developing the skills to tackle real health challenges in ways that are both ethical and sustainable.
