Introduction

Please click here  to see Bioengineering department information.

The undergraduate program at CU Denver is a highly rigorous program that instills competencies in biomedical science, engineering and mathematics and biomedical design, while emphasizing the professional competencies of leadership, communication, presentation and critical problem solving.  Our mission is to improve human health through the application of engineering principles, ideas, methods and inventions to solve important clinical problems. Bioengineering is a highly interdisciplinary field that brings together: (1) biological, chemical and physical sciences; (2) engineering and mathematics; and (3) clinical medicine.  The undergraduate bioengineering program provides training at both the Denver campus (years 1 and 2) and the Anschutz Medical Campus (years 3 and 4).  

Graduates will be well-prepared for further education in graduate school, medical school or other advanced professional preparation.  The department also offers a Master of Science (MS) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees in bioengineering. 

Program Delivery

• This is an on-campus program.
