Find your BME courses

Course descriptions

Official descriptions of all BME courses, including prerequisites and credits, are maintained in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Course offerings by semester, with meeting times and instructors, are listed in the SOLAR class search.

Registration permission forms

Some BME courses require instructor or program permission before you can register. Submit the form for the course you want, then follow up with the instructor.

Note: BME 300 is being phased out and is not required of students admitted Fall 2026 or later. Continuing students should confirm with their advisor whether they still need it.

• BME 494 / BME 495 — Independent research. Research with a BME faculty member. Required for the honors program.
• BME 499 — Independent research. Research credit, including with faculty outside BME.
• BME 475 / BME 476 — Teaching practicum. Assist with instruction in a BME course.
• BME 488 — Industry internship. Academic credit for a supervised internship.

To arrange any of these, speak with the faculty member first, then submit the permission form for the course.
