Because we are positioned as a joint department, Michigan BME combines the strengths of two schools that are among the very best in their fields – the U-M College of Engineering and Michigan Medical School. We are one of only a handful of universities in the country with this breadth and depth of excellence.
U-M BME offers collaborative research and educational opportunities through the College of Engineering, our Medical School, and the many globally-recognized programs that extend throughout the University of Michigan, which is among the top three public universities in the United States.
Together, we are working to advance our mission of leadership, education, research and clinical translation for the benefit of humanity.
