The School brings together two CSU research areas of excellence for even greater impact on Colorado, the nation and the globe – the School of Biomedical Engineering and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering – creating a robust research and education for current and future grand challenges.
Biomedical and chemical engineers work at the interface of biology, medicine and engineering to help solve challenging global problems for people, animals, and the planet.
Biomedical and mechanical engineering Eric Gutierrez-Camacho was led to CSU through his campus exploration and the many opportunities to help the people around him.
We continue to offer our existing majors, with new opportunities to connect with faculty and staff.
Faculty are now based directly in the School, offering our students easier ways to connect with the disciplines within the majors
This expansion significantly increases resources available to our students, both Biomedical Engineering and Chemical and Biological Engineering. Majors and degree offerings remain the same, and by combining the faculty and staff, we are doubling up on research opportunities and creating a much more robust base for significant biological, chemical and biomedical expertise.
Ph.D., M.S., M.E., and online M.E. degrees
Ph.D., M.S., PSM, and M.E. degrees
There is a high demand for skilled professionals in the bioscience field, and the Professional Science Master’s program offers an excellent opportunity to enhance your skills and prepare for new roles in this ever-evolving industry.
We explore a broad range of innovative research areas, led by faculty who are world-renowned experts in their respective fields. Our interdisciplinary focus includes improving health, fighting disease, and advancing materials that have a daily impact on communities globally.
Engineering has been part of CSU since the 1870s with the founding of mechanical and irrigation engineering that put our college and university on the world stage. As society’s needs changed, so have we. For example, we expanded into agricultural engineering in the 1950s, which later became Chemical and Biological Engineering.
In 2007, we innovated again, creating the state’s first School of Biomedical Engineering that offers innovative multi-disciplinary degree programs engaging faculty from across the college and entire university. That includes CSU’s top-ranked veterinary medicine program.
We have merged these great research and education programs into a new department called the School of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering. The new school combines faculty from the existing Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering along with Biomedical Engineering faculty from other departments across the college. Importantly, it will permanently bring together the faculty who support all three biomedical engineering dual majors – with mechanical, electrical and computer engineering, and chemical and biological engineering.
This program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for chemical, biological, and biomedical engineering.
