Department of Biomedical Engineering

WHAT WE DO

We prepare students for the interdisciplinary world of bioengineering, where technology and medicine meet. Students choose a study track in Biomolecular Engineering, Biomedical Systems, Bioinformatics, or Pre-Med.

Mississippi's First Department of Biomedical Engineering

The Biomedical Engineering program allows students to partner with the University of Mississippi's world-class School of Pharmacy and National Centers for Physical Acoustics and Natural Products Research to help create a dynamic educational experience.

Graduates of the program can enter careers in medical device design, biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and sales, biomedical imaging, and telemedicine, among others. Biomedical Engineering also provides the skills and knowledge needed to pursue a Doctorate of Medicine (M.D.).

 Biomedical Engineering students at Mississippi's flagship public university:

  • Master a rigorous and challenging curriculum
  • Participate in impactful undergraduate research projects
  • Capitalize on formative internship and co-op experiences
  • Learn the ethical challenges that face 21st century bioengineers
  • Develop transferable skills for rapid career advancement
