Northwestern’s Biomedical Engineering BS integrates mechanics, electronics, and molecular biology to create technologies that transform patient care—from 3D-printed organs to neural prosthetics. Students tackle design challenges in modern makerspaces and collaborate with Feinberg School clinicians on translational research. Concentrations in biomechanics, biomaterials, or neural engineering allow tailored expertise, while industry co-ops with medical-device firms build professional acumen. Graduates excel in med-tech R&D, entrepreneurship, and MD/PhD pathways.
