List of Schools Offering Accredited Biomedical Engineering Programs

Links to 50 U.S. universities and colleges with accredited Biomedical Engineering (Bioengineering) programs. Although ABET, Inc. is asking programs to focus on student outcomes an accredited program does not necessarily prepare its graduates well for corporate careers. The prospective student would be well advised to ask for job statistics from the biomedical engineering program they are interested in to establish what percentage of the B.S. graduates pursuing jobs in the medical device or pharmaceutical industry are getting them within 6 months of graduation. Every ABET accredited program should have statistics of this type to share. If they don’t they have not established an important feedback mechanism to check on the success of their graduates.

Every systems engineer knows that you need feedback to stay on target.  Programs that are not tracking and addressing student how well all of their  students fare after graduation and why are not going to prepare BME graduates well.  ( See The B.S. Biomedical Engineer’s Job Dilemma )
