For more than 50 years, the Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering has been setting the bar for BME education and research.

The Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering has been setting the bar for BME education and research for more than 60 years, and we continue to lead the way through a curriculum that combines classroom instruction and hands-on research to train future leaders.

The BS degree in biomedical engineering requires 129 credits. For an in-depth look at our requirements, please refer to the BME e-catalogue and BME Undergraduate Program Canvas.

We are training the next generation of leaders through BME 2.0, the biomedical engineering curriculum of the future. Through project-based learning, research experiences, design opportunities, clinical exposure, and more, our students solve real-world engineering problems.

Through BME 2.0, the biomedical engineering curriculum of the future, we teach students the foundations of the life sciences, mathematics, and engineering disciplines, in addition to advanced topics in biomedical data science and computational medicine.

Biomedical engineering (BME) is an interdisciplinary field that bridges engineering, math, and physics with biology and the life sciences. Biomedical engineers apply their expertise in these areas to solve problems related to medicine and healthcare, developing new technologies to understand, diagnose, and treat disease.

Exceptional Academics. Hopkins BME’s undergraduate and graduate programs are consistently ranked #1 in the nation. Our recently redesigned, interdisciplinary BME 2.0 curriculum provides students with solid footing in the quantitative and life sciences, including physics, mathematics, programming, computer science, biology, and data science.

At Hopkins BME, we offer a variety of programs and resources to help you achieve your specific goals. We will provide you with the curriculum, opportunities, advising, and experiences that will help shape your future career.

Spend one year s pecializing in advanced BME focus areas and solving real-world engineering problems related to human health and disease through project-based courses. Spend an optional second year conducting research with the world’s leading scientists, engineers, and clinicians in one of 3,000 laboratories throughout Johns Hopkins.

Learn the different paths you can take to earn your master’s degree from Hopkins BME. From one-year and two-year options to an international dual degree program, we have a path to help you achieve your career goals.
