Technical Electives for Biomedical Engineering
Pre-approved tech elective courses for BME
Biomedical Engineering students must take 5 technical elective courses (15 credits) in addition to the core and required major courses. View our list of pre-approved technical electives below. Students may complete the Alternative Elective Form (NetID login) to request approval for a course not on this list. Students can have no more than 3 technical electives at the 200-level, and only one of those courses may be in engineering. Please contact Natalia Kolk if you have any questions regarding this policy.

Notes:
- Students must have at least 2 courses/6 credits of technical electives at the 300-level or above
- A maximum of 3 credits can be used from the BME 296/396/496 series of classes towards fulfilling technical elective requirements.
- Honors college students cannot use BME 296/396/496 to count towards technical elective requirements if completing a departmental honors thesis.
- You should work with the Academic advisor to ensure you are meeting the required number/credits of Technical Electives.
- If you would like to use a course for a Technical Elective that is not offered in the above list, you will need to complete the Alternative Tech Elective Form.
- These technical electives may or may not be offered every year / semester. Please consult with the offering Department and confirm whether a class will be available the semester you are considering it (or check the course history in SPIRE).
