Bachelor of Science Plan of Study
Guidelines for selecting General Education Electives, as well as a list of approved courses, can be found on the BME website (http://www.engr.iupui.edu/departments/bme/index.php). BME, science, and technical electives must be selected in consultation with an academic advisor. These courses may include upper-level science, BME, or other engineering courses not already included on the BME plan of study. The goal of these electives is to provide depth of education in a specific sub-discipline of Biomedical Engineering.
