Notes

Admission: Priority is given to students with a grade point average of 3.00 or higher. Admission is competitive and contingent upon program capacity.
Advising: The Bioengineering minor is the same as the Biomedical Engineering Specialization track within the Biology major. It is designed for College of Arts and Sciences students. Contact the Bioengineering undergraduate program director or coordinator (bme_ug_program@stonybrook.edu) for advising.
