Academics
The key to educating engineers who are able to undertake cutting-edge research, and convert results into the next generation of medical products, lies in teaching engineering science, analysis, and design within the context of biology and medicine, and integrating biology and engineering within courses and design projects.
The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University is transforming the future of healthcare. Building on a rich history of engineering prowess, innovation and collaboration, we are persistently pursuing advances in medical technologies and healthcare delivery. By innovating at an accelerated pace, integrating perspectives to solve real-world challenges, and equipping and propelling the next generation of biomedical engineers, Purdue Biomedical Engineering is making giant leaps toward the future of healthcare.
Our graduate program is well known for the quality of its master's- and doctoral-level students and graduates. The involvement of students in translating discoveries into effective products provides a unique experience in converting theory to reality.
Our undergraduate program builds on Purdue's excellent undergraduate engineering programs to encompass the many diverse elements of biomedical engineering. In addition to key engineering fundamentals, students are exposed to biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and physiology. Classwork is only the beginning, as the program ensures hands-on learning through intense laboratory activities and involvement in real-world problem solving.
Augmenting and expanding these efforts is a unique opportunity:
Students can take advantage of an innovative combined MD/PhD program developed in partnership with the Indiana University School of Medicine. This program educates the next generation of clinical leaders through
Working together at Purdue, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and industry are helping turn the best and brightest students of today into the biomedical leaders of tomorrow; and, in the process, creating the future of biomedical engineering education.
