Minor
Through careful selection of engineering, mathematics electives and electives taken toward one of the five optional tracks (see below), it may be possible for a student to fulfill the requirements for a minor in mathematics and a minor in computer science and computer engineering, material science and engineering, electrical engineering, or mechanical and energy engineering. Major transfer policy
Students enrolled at UNT can transfer into Biomedical Engineering if they have completed the following courses with a C or better and with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5.
Department policies
Policy on Academic Performance, Progression, and Dismissal in the College of Engineering
Students in the College of Engineering will conduct themselves in a professional manner in their interaction with their peers, faculty, staff and the community in general. A student may be dismissed from the college for inappropriate conduct (please refer to the Code of Student Conduct).
Each semester, students are required to take engineering foundation courses and/or prerequisites to the engineering foundation courses until all foundation courses are successfully completed. Successful completion is a 2.5 GPA for all engineering foundation courses with a C or better in each course.
Successful completion of the foundation courses is required for enrollment in all 3000 and 4000 level courses.
A student will graduate with a degree in Biomedical Engineering, provided the following conditions are satisfied:
- The student has an overall GPA ≥ 2.0
- The student has a GPA of 2.0 in Biomedical Engineering Foundation courses and all have been passed with a grade of C or better.
- The student has a GPA ≥ 2.0 in all degree major courses including but not limited to, engineering, math, sciences, laboratory sciences and technical electives.
- The student has completed all required courses in the student’s degree plan.
- The student has satisfied all College of Engineering and UNT criteria for graduation.
A student must maintain good academic standing within the university. Please see “Academic status” and “Regulations governing students under academic suspension” in the Academics section of this catalog.”
Four-year degree plan (example)
The following four-year plan is one example of a variety of ways in which you can complete your chosen degree in four years, and will serve as a guide for you to design your pathway to degree completion. Variations will depend on whether you need to take prerequisites or have college credit from exams or dual enrollment.
