Earning a Bachelor's degree is one of the most important steps you can take towards increasing your earning potential and job opportunities.
Bioengineering, one of the youngest engineering disciplines, employs the principles and tools of traditional engineering specialties that are applied to solve biomedical problems. Bioengineering is broad in its spectrum, with its foundation in all of the engineering sciences, as well as biomedical sciences. In recognition of the unique features and requirements of bioengineering, IUS established the Bioengineering Program in 2004.
The undergraduate Genetics and Bioengineering program at IUS is designed to emphasize the application of the principles and methods of engineering sciences to the study of biomedical applications and problems. The curriculum has an engineering foundation with emphasis on biochemical process applications. The four-year Genetics and Bioengineering curriculum prepares students for careers in the emerging biotechnology industry or in businesses related to medical or pharmaceutical industry, as well as other positions in industry, commerce and education; or to continue their formal education at a graduate school of their choice.
Combines engineering sciences with biomedical sciences, providing a comprehensive foundation across mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and computer technology.
Prepares graduates for the emerging biotechnology industry, medical and pharmaceutical sectors, with practical emphasis on biochemical process applications.
Develops depth in molecular biology, genetics, structural biology, microbiology, and bioinformatics through specialized courses and laboratory techniques.
