Biomedical Engineering

Important Program Update

As the Indiana University and Purdue University partnership in IUPUI ended on June 30, 2024, it is necessary to redefine Butler’s partnership with Purdue Engineering programs. During this time of transition, no new students will be accepted to the Engineering Dual Degree Program.

All students currently enrolled in the Engineering Dual Degree Program, including those starting the program in fall 2023, will be able to complete their degrees on schedule and without interruption. Please direct any questions to Dr. Amber Russell, Program Director, at acrusse3@butler.edu.


A vibrant and rapidly expanding field both in content and opportunities. As our technological infrastructure expands and our fundamental knowledge in the life sciences is now at the basic molecular level, Biomedical Engineers are poised to continue to make major advances.

There are three depth areas of biomedical engineering: bioinstrumentation, tissue engineering and biomaterials, and biomechanics.

In addition to courses required for this discipline, listed below, all students must satisfy the EDDP Common Core curriculum.
