The Department of Biomedical Engineering takes an interdisciplinary approach to offer students meaningful and relevant courses for students seeking personal and academic development in resolving medical and biological challenges. Our program offers a variety of options for students looking to design and prototype products, devices, processes, or software system solutions designed to address unmet biomedical needs.

Biomedical Engineering involves applying engineering principles to create solutions for healthcare and usually deals with the design and development of medical products. Popular careers for Biomedical Engineers include Manufacturing Engineer, Quality Engineer, Software Engineer, Researcher, and Physician.

Our ABET-accredited program is based on providing training in both traditional engineering practice and biomedical sciences. The collaborative approach, combined with rigorous engineering education, offers our students the preparation needed to make an impact in the Biomedical Engineering field.

Early Fall Direct

Early Fall Direct is a pathway for students who elect to begin in June for the Summer term. We also offer this pathway to applicants who applied for the Fall, but whose academic profile benefits from an earlier start to their college career.

 

Beginning in the Early Fall Direct term allows students to transition to FIU before the rush of the Fall term. All students are required to take 9 Summer credits to graduate from FIU. Credits taken during Early Fall Direct pathway will count towards that quota.

Fall Direct

Fall Direct is a pathway for students who start classes during the Fall term, in August. This pathway has the highest academic criteria for admission. Students admitted to the Fall term by November 1st with qualifying criteria are considered for our Admissions Merit-Based (Premiere) Scholarships.

 

The Fall term is the most traditional start term at FIU, and it is when most of our major sports and student-run events occur on campus.

Spring Direct

The Spring Direct pathway starts in January, and is considered to be the most flexible of our pathways to get admitted in. Many students opt for Spring Direct if they need more time to move to Miami from out of town, finish up coursework at their current school, or prepare finances.
