The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Interdisciplinary Program at the University of Arizona offers exciting opportunities for students interested in research and training related to biomedical engineering. Students can learn in a broad range of areas, integrating engineering, mathematics, biology, and medicine in a highly collaborative and multi-disciplinary environment. The BME-IDP offers Doctor of Philosophy and Masters of Science degrees as well as graduate minor degrees in related disciplines. Doctoral students accepted into the BME program can participate in a number of specialized training programs (links can be found below).

An undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering is in the planning stages for students who are freshmen in the academic year 2009-10 or later. This degree will be awarded by the College of Engineering Department of Biomedical Engineering.
