Undergraduate Majors

With more than 40 majors to choose from, our curriculum offers you unparalleled opportunity to pick your path and find the right fit for you, whether you’re interested in Natural Sciences and Mathematics or Social Sciences, or Humanities like History and English are more your style. 

Many of our majors also offer opportunities for internships and co-ops both locally and nationally, study abroad and service learning, where you make real-world impact on your community.

If you’re not sure which major is right for you, you’re not alone. Many incoming students aren’t sure with path is the right one—which may be why many of our first-year students choose our Exploratory Studies Program. Through Exploratory Studies, you’ll learn more about what each major has to offer, and whether it’s right for you.

Why study Biomedical Electronics and Computing?

Biomedical Electronics leads to new and innovative biomedical and biochemical instruments and analysis systems for environmental sensing, point-of-care testing, haptics and biosurgery, microfluidics and labs-on-a-chip, and proteomics and genomics. In Biomedical Computing, software and hardware are developed to organize and analyze medical and biological data.
