• One 3-credit course of the Technical Engineering Selective requirements may be satisfied with any of the following approved mentored experiential learning options (must complete all in the same category):

  • 3 credits of EPICS (200-level or higher)
  • 3 credits of BME 49800 research for credit (with restrictions). This cannot be used to satisfy the 400-level BME Technical Elective requirement. 

General Education Courses can be used to meet Univeristy Core Requirements.

BME Undergraduate students must complete 21 credits of general education. General education courses are non-technical courses that provide a broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context.
Many courses count for both General Education and Univeristy Core Curriculum (UCC) Foundational Learning Outcomes (FLO) but many do not. When choosing courses to fulfill these requirements, students will need to check both the UCC FLO course list and the BME Approved General Education Course List found below.

Students must complete 12 credits from College of Liberal Arts, Daniel’s School of Management and/or the Honors College.

The other 6 credits may be taken from any of the College of College of Liberal Arts, Daniel’s School of Management, the Honors College, College of Education, and/or College of Health and Human Sciences

At least 6 credits of General Education selectives must be at the non-introductory level. This means that they are either 300-level or higher or have a required pre-requisite in the same department.

Students must complete 3 credits from the Ethics and Policy Healthcare (EPH) selective list.

BME 56400 can be used towards the EPH requirement but does not count towards General Education Selectives.

Liberal Arts/Business/Honors (12 credits)

At least 12 credits must be taken inside the College of Liberal Arts, the Mitch Daniel’s School of Management and/or the Honors College

Additional General Education Selectives (9 credits)

An additional 9 credits must be taken from either the departments in the Liberal Arts/Business/Honors list, or from the following additional departments: AGEC, CSR, EDCI, EDPS, EDST, ENTR, HDFS, PSY, SLHS
