Academics

The Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) prepares students to gain practical engineering skills on their journeys to advance research and craft solutions to some of the world’s most pressing health care needs. Educated by our world-class faculty, Texas BME students are passionate, driven and delight in exploring what’s possible in the field of biomedical engineering and beyond.

The Cockrell School of Engineering is a top 10 engineering school, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering is nationally ranked for excellence among the top engineering programs in the U.S. We offer students hands-on learning opportunities in state-of-the-art facilities, mentored by faculty conducting multidisciplinary research in numerous areas of biomedical engineering.

With access to research and robust study abroad programs, undergraduates amplify their learning from day one. Our graduate students lead research in the world’s premier labs and develop their skills through industry interactions, conferences and seminars.

Our students specialize in four academic tracks: 

• Biomedical Imaging and Instrumentation
• Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering
• Computational Biomedical Engineering
• Molecular, Cellular and Tissue Biomechanics
