Biomedical engineering is where innovation meets human health. By combining engineering principles and innovations with biology and medicine, biomedical engineers develop technologies that improve lives, ranging from advances in medical imaging and prosthetic limbs to wearable health devices, artificial organs, and life-saving diagnostic tools. As a biomedical engineering student, you will gain the technical skills, creativity, and hands-on experience needed to solve real-world healthcare challenges while working alongside experts in engineering, medicine, and science. If you are passionate about making a meaningful impact through technology, biomedical engineering offers an exciting path to a career that advances healthcare, improves patient outcomes, and shapes the future of medicine.

At the Herff College of Engineering at the University of Memphis, biomedical engineering students learn at the intersection of engineering, medicine, and innovation in one of the nation's leading healthcare and medical device hubs.  Our biomedical engineering students benefit from a personalized, student-centered education that combines academic excellence with real-world experience. Small class sizes, dedicated faculty mentors, and hands-on learning opportunities allow students to work closely with researchers, clinicians, and industry partners to address today's most pressing healthcare challenges. Our interdisciplinary curriculum prepares graduates with the technical expertise, design skills, and collaborative mindset needed to succeed in graduate school, medical school, or careers in the medical device, biotechnology, and healthcare industries. At Herff, you won't just study biomedical engineering; you'll join a community committed to innovation, discovery, and improving lives through engineering.
