Department of Biomedical Engineering
- Bachelor of science (BS) in biomedical engineering
- Bachelor of science (BS) in engineering science, biomedical engineering specialization, with a mechanical or electrical engineering preference
- Bachelor of arts (BA) in biomedical engineering, with a mechanical or electrical engineering preference
The biomedical engineering program at The College of New Jersey is relatively young, having its first graduating class in 2007. Students enrolling in the program have two main decisions - whether to pursue a BS or BA degree, and whether to express a preference in electrical or mechanical engineering. The BS/BA distinction is important - students pursuing a BA have fewer courses to take than those pursuing a BS, and need not perform a senior project. Most students in the BA track are interested in entering medical school or graduate school, and feel that in the long run the exact nature of their undergraduate degree will not be crucial. Biomedical engineering students take a substantial number of courses in the biology department, and thus graduate with roughly the same number of credits as the traditional engineering programs, despite being in the engineering science department.

Famous quotes containing the words department of, department and/or engineering:
“... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
““Which is more important to you, your field or your children?” the department head asked. She replied, “That’s like asking me if I could walk better if you amputated my right leg or my left leg.””
—Anonymous Parent. As quoted in Women and the Work Family Dilemma, by Deborah J. Swiss and Judith P. Walker, ch. 2 (1993)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
