Biomedical engineering is one of the newest specialties within engineering.  Engineers are increasingly involved with the development of innovative methods for diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries.
The School of Engineering does not currently offer a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, though several of the departments within the school are working towards developing courses that will allow some level of specialization in this area. Currently, students keen on obtaining a major in Biomedical Engineering should design a special major in this area of study.
The following link provides a step-by-step guide how to design a special major: Link for special major.
For guidance on how to design a special major please contact Dr. Kerry L. Collins-Gross (collinsk@eng.buffalo.edu). The faculty of the Center for Biomedical Engineering may act as advisors to the students depending on their area of research interests.

Other UB Undergraduate Programs in Biomedical Sciences:

The Biomedical Sciences (BMS) include course offerings, faculty mentoring, and research opportunities available in the basic science departments in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.  Undergraduate majors are currently offered in Biochemical Pharmacology (B.S.), Biochemistry (B.S.) and Biophysics (B.S.). Two Special Majors are also available; they include a B.A. in Biomedical Sciences, and a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences with tracks in either microbiology or physiology. The B.S. in Biomedical Sciences is available to undergraduates who choose to do extensive research in either microbiology or physiology.
