Sample Bioengineering Program, Undergraduate
The undergraduate program is designed to be completed in 4 years. It is very important to follow the sample program as closely as possible, as most of the nearly all BIOE classes are only offered once a year. All Bioengineering majors must participate in an advising session prior to registering each semester. Students are assigned a faculty advisor at the start of their first semester in the major.
Courses appearing in bold are offered by the Fischell Department of Bioengineering.
Questions about the undergraduate program in bioengineering may be sent to bioe-undergrad@umd.edu.
