The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in biomedical engineering at Kansas State University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Bioengineering and Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

Kansas State University Core: 34-36 Credit Hours


K-State Core  is the foundation for an impactful life and career after time at K-State.

The K-State Core framework covers six disciplinary areas: English, Communications, Mathematics & Statistics, Natural & Physical Sciences, Social & Behavioral Sciences, and Arts and Humanities. In addition, a seventh area is reserved for institutionally designated use, which K-State is keeping as free electives. In total, the framework takes up 34-35 credit hours of 100 and 200-level coursework. Students who complete their general education elsewhere cannot be required to take additional general education coursework in the disciplinary areas of the framework without permission from KBOR to continue requiring courses in the K-State Core.

General Education: K-State Core  

Program


For the good and benefit of the student and their future employer, the ECE department enforces a C-prerequisite policy for all courses listed by number in the curriculum and for any in-major technical elective course applied toward the degree. A grade of C or better must be earned in all prerequisites to such a course before enrolling in that course.
The curriculum for this major assumes students enter college prepared to take Calculus.

Restricted Electives: (12 credit hours)


*Technical electives must be selected to complete one of the option areas. See department website for list of areas and options and required electives:  https://ece.k-state.edu

Notes


*Emphasis electives must come from lists of approved courses.

**Typically only offered in one semester

Students who participate in exchange programs or transfer in from outside the United States may request waivers of this policy. Waivers must be obtained in advance of the exchange semester.

Total Hours Required for Graduation: 128
