The Biomedical Engineering 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 and mathematics with 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).

Undergraduate students can participate in a Biomedical Engineering specialization offered in collaboration with the College of Engineering.
