USC’s Bachelor of Science program in Biomedical Engineering was launched in 1974. Since its inception, the BME program has attracted many of the highest-achieving students at USC, including University valedictorians and salutatorians, as well as School of Engineering valedictorians.
All BME degrees combine high-level coursework from mathematics, the sciences, engineering, and USC’s general education program. The biochemical area of emphasis begins with the BME core curriculum and then adds a carefully selected course sequence that allows for more in depth work in chemistry.
