Learning to Think as an Engineer,
To Act as a World Citizen

Our undergraduate bioengineering program is a springboard for discovery in engineering, medicine, business, and the arts and sciences.

Opportunities abound: you can work in a world-famous biomedical research lab, design a new medical device, build a start-up company, become fluent in Chinese, choose premed courses, double major in a wide range of disciplines, or minor in nanotechnology or engineering entrpreneurship, among others.

You can start becoming a citizen of the world as a freshman: by helping to bring clean water to communities in Latin America, by traveling to Hong Kong and China with Penn's Global Biomedical Research Program, or by working in science outreach programs with Philadelphia middle and high school students.

Whether you serve in the Peace Corps, conduct research, or invent new technology, you will bring with you the confidence, knowledge, and partnerships you have gained at Penn to help change people's lives. You will diagnose, treat, prevent, and cure disease in ways unimagined today, improving medicine, health care delivery, and society all over the world.
