Program Overview
At its heart, our bioengineering program is highly interdisciplinary, encompassing foundational coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. As a bioengineering major at Endicott, you will apply this knowledge in upper division engineering courses focused on team-based design and analysis. With your well-rounded liberal arts education here, you will be able to relate subject matter in your major to other disciplines, and you will develop important skills in communication, critical thinking, and problem solving.
The bioengineering program prepares you for a wide variety of careers involved in advancing health and medicine, as well as graduate programs in engineering or health professions such as medical, dental, or veterinary school.
Program Highlights
- Outstanding job opportunities - students are equipped to solve challenging problems in the medical and life sciences across a broad spectrum of sub-disciplines.
- Application and design experience from day one - starting the first semester of freshman year and culminating in senior year, students build and design projects in teams to apply their basic knowledge of science and mathematics.
