Course Overview

With a degree in biomedical engineering, you can pursue a job in the biomedical industry or graduate studies in the field. Also, you’ll be well-placed to seek a professional career in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or patent law.

You can choose one of three academic tracks in our biomedical engineering program:

  • Biomolecular engineering – brings together the study of molecular biology, biophysics and chemical engineering to modify or create new molecules. This can lead you to a job working on innovative drugs and medical processes, as well as new foods and fuels.
  • Biomedical systems – provides you with an understanding of medical instrumentation, devices and biomechanics. You’ll also learn about signal analysis, using technology and other tools to better understand a person’s health.
  • Bioinformatics – applies big data analytics to genome sequencing, medical imaging and large data management. This degree can start you down the path for a career in computational medical research, software development or database management.

Entry Requirement 

A student must have a 20 or higher on the Math portion of the ACT (or SAT equivalent or a C or higher on the Cambridge O-Level Examination) AND a core high school GPA of 2.8 or higher.

Students with a score below 25 on the Math portion of the ACT must enroll and earn at least a B in Basic Mathematics for Science and Engineering (MATH 125). Alternatively, they can take both College Algebra (MATH 121) and Trigonometry (MATH 123).

Transfer Students:

Students from other universities or community colleges – or other programs at Ole Miss – need to have a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 2.25 or higher to pursue an engineering degree with us. They will also need to have earned a B or higher in MATH 125 (or MATH 121 and 123), or a higher mathematics course.

International Students:

International undergraduate applicants must have received a high school diploma with at least a B average and have completed a minimum of 12 years of primary and secondary education. If transferring from another college or university, they must have an overall B average or better on all courses taken.
