The Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Montana, Missoula, combines principles of engineering with biological sciences to design and create medical devices, systems, and technologies. The program aims to equip students with the necessary skills to innovate and improve healthcare through engineering solutions. Students will engage in interdisciplinary coursework, hands-on labs, and research opportunities to develop a broad understanding of both engineering principles and biological sciences.
University of Montana offers a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and Biomedical Sciences through the Division of Biological Sciences (not a standalone Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering). Out-of-state tuition approximately $33,664 per year. Acceptance rate highly accessible at 95-96%. Minimum high school GPA of 2.5 required for general admission.
The curriculum includes core courses such as Biomedical Computing, Biomechanics, Biomaterials, and Bioinstrumentation. Students must complete foundational courses in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The program offers elective courses in specialized areas such as tissue engineering, medical imaging, and neural engineering. A capstone design project in the final year encourages students to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios, often in collaboration with industry partners. Independent research opportunities are available for interested students.
