About:
Biomedical engineers solve problems in medicine and biology by applying engineering principles to gain new insights into the function of the human body, and design devices, materials and interventions that can improve human health, performance and quality of life. The Biomedical Engineering minor is open to all current Villanova Engineering undergraduates who fulfill the prerequisites.
This minor is open to Engineering students only. Students may pursue either the Biochemical minor or the Biomedical minor, but not both.
Requirements:
The minor requires the successful completion of seven courses (21 credits), two of which are required, four of which are elective courses and one ethics course.
Two Required Courses:
