Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering

Lehigh’s undergraduate major in bioengineering offers training at the interface of engineering, the life and physical sciences, and healthcare. This highly interdisciplinary program bridges rigorous training in the engineering and physical sciences with biology and bioengineering applications. Students in the program learn how biological systems work, develop analytical skills and use advanced tools in experimentation, modeling and simulation. They apply their knowledge to areas such as design, synthesis, manufacturing and healthcare while cultivating strong communication skills, innovation, creativity and problem-solving skills. At Lehigh, we believe that the greatest potential for innovation occurs at the boundaries between strong disciplines. At the core of Lehigh’s Department of Bioengineering are pillars of recognized strengths in bioscience, systems, mechanics, materials and computer science, and our Department upholds a strong tradition of interdisciplinary thinking as our faculty and students work closely with peers from around the world to develop breakthrough innovations and technologies focused on alleviating problems related to human health.
