The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering 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 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.
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.
As part of Purdue's Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering, the Indianapolis location delivers the same high-quality education, research opportunities and student experience that define the school's program in West Lafayette.
