Future BME Undergrads - Biomedical Engineering | The College of Engineering at the University of Utah

Admission to the University of Utah

All Biomedical Engineering students must first be admitted to the University of Utah. For more information, please visit the Office of Admissions website.

Admission to the Biomedical Engineering Major

There are two ways to achieve Biomedical Engineering Major status: direct admission and applying for admission.

Direct Admission

To learn about direct admission, please visit the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering website.

Apply for Admission

To be considered for admission to major status requires, as a minimum, completion of the courses listed below with a grade point average of 3.00 or better. You may repeat technical courses only once, and the second grade received will be counted for the requirement. Actual admission is based on the composite GPA as calculated on the application form. Students with a University cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a composite GPA of 3.4 or higher will be automatically admitted to major status at the time of submission; students with composite GPAs below 3.4 but equal to or above 3.0 will be placed on a waitlist and admitted as space permits at the start of the spring semester. Students enter the program in time to start the spring semester.

To apply for admission to major status, submit an application form, a current DARS report, and transcript of transfer credits (if applicable) to the Undergraduate Coordinator. Applications are received anytime. However, to be accepted to the major for the spring semester, students must turn in their application no later than the last official day of fall courses.
