For another consecutive year, the Johns Hopkins Department of Biomedical Engineering’s undergraduate program has been recognized as the best in the nation by its peers, according to U.S. News & World Report. The No.1 ranking reaffirms the program’s long-standing reputation for academic excellence and leadership in the field.
As the home of the nation’s first training programs in biomedical engineering, Johns Hopkins has been setting the bar for BME education and research for more than 60 years. The department currently instructs more than 400 undergraduates and employs more than 50 tenure-track faculty with research expertise spanning seven cutting-edge disciplines. Organized around these focus areas, the unique undergraduate curriculum is designed to give students a hands-on learning experience and the opportunity to contribute to major discoveries in areas like neuroengineering and immunoengineering.
“What truly makes our program exceptional is not just the knowledge we impart, but the environment of curiosity and collaboration we foster,” said Elizabeth Logsdon, director of the biomedical engineering undergraduate program. “Our mission is to prepare graduates who do more than build careers; they become the leaders and innovators who will shape the future of medicine and improve lives.”
As a whole, Johns Hopkins University ranks No. 7 among all national universities. Notably, the university climbed three spots to No. 9 in undergraduate research and creative projects, a testament to its strong commitment to providing students with ample opportunities to participate in projects outside the classroom. In addition to biomedical engineering, several other undergraduate programs within Johns Hopkins also earned high rankings. Read more about the latest U.S News & World Report rankings on the Hub.
