Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering - Cellular and Biomolecular Engineering

In biomedical engineering, students work alongside faculty to build interdisciplinary knowledge and develop clinically translatable solutions for human health — from the design and development of artificial organs and devices for injury recovery to the creation of advanced detection systems and refined medical imaging techniques and equipment. Texas Engineering students have gone on to work in academic institutions and various areas of the health care and biotechnology industries. The bachelor of science in biomedical engineering (BSBME) is an undergraduate degree that integrates engineering tools with biological sciences. Graduates from this degree become engineers who have the foundational training to develop solutions to the most complex problems we face in medicine.The best solutions to medical problems are produced by teams with diverse technical perspectives. Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field that takes aspects of chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering and combines them with human physiology to solve problems in health care. We offer a foundational interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum covering engineering and science fundamentals, biomaterials, physiology, instrumentation, biomechanics, engineering design, and more.The major objective of this area is to teach students how to integrate knowledge in cell and molecular biology with engineering analysis, so that they can address problems in molecular-based medicine. Two career emphases are available in this area: biomaterialsregenerative medicine and nanotechnology. Students are required to select 12 semester hours from any of the Technical Area 2 electives; six of the 12 hours must be within engineering.

Your High School Transcripts and Any College TranscriptsPlease submit documentation showing that you have completed (or will be completing) an accredited secondary school series equivalent to that of a U.S. high school. Please ensure your official record or transcript (mark sheet) shows your secondary work and grades (or marks) from 9th to at least the end of 11th grade. You will need to include 9th grade even if that work was completed at a different institution. You should also include copies of your official final examinations taken at the end of the secondary school program, including external exams such as the General Certificate of Education (GCE) “O” and “A” level examinations, school leaving certificates and matriculation exams. If you have earned any college credit (including dual credit) while in high school, submit official transcripts to UT Austin. Please provide official English translations together with the original language records.High School Prerequisites - You must complete or be on track to complete certain high school coursework to be competitive for admission.SAT/ACT Scores - Students should submit at least one set of scores directly from the testing agency. We do not require the SAT Essay or ACT Writing scores. Scores included in transcripts and copies of score reports don’t meet this requirement.
