Pre-med Track: Admissions & Study Areas


The Department of Biosystems Engineering is looking for motivated students who are interested in medical careers.

Upon admission to the ABE department, students in the pre-med track will be advised by a committee of ABE pre-med members.

These advisors will assist pre-med students interested in entering the fields of medicine, dentistry, or biomedical engineering.

BE pre-med students will be exposed to broad engineering and science subjects, such as:

  • Biological Systems Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Bio-Environmental Science
  • Sensors and Control Systems
  • Decision Support Systems
  • Bioreactor Design
  • Nanotechnology
  • Water Resources and Water Quality

Thus, the pre-med track offers students a broad-based engineering degree, should they decide not to pursue advanced medical study. These students will become qualified engineers in the biological, environmental, and water resources engineering fields.
