Bioengineering

Guided by a faculty committed to undergraduate and graduate research experience, bioengineering students apply engineering principles to understand and treat disease. Collaboration with physicians and entrepreneurs ensures that research focuses on high-priority health care challenges.

By providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education, Clemson bioengineering prepares students to  

• apply science and engineering principles to problems in biology and medicine
• generate and disseminate knowledge to benefit humankind
• apply knowledge toward health care improvement and scientific and technological development.
