Advising

The undergraduate biomedical engineering program at Wayne State has a number of required courses in math, science, engineering and general education. However, we strive to work with students to design and develop a complete program of study that meets your educational and professional goals. We encourage all students to speak early and frequently with the undergraduate student success coordinator and/or a department academic advisor to discuss curriculum options.

Each student has two department academic advisors. The department administrative academic advisor is common to all undergraduate students. Each student additionally has a professional advisor to consult for details specific to their concentrations, or to discuss options in that concentration prior to selection.

You are required to create a plan of work (POW) and get it approved before the completion of 12 credit hours.  The Registrar's Office puts an automatic hold on student accounts preventing add/drop until the POW is approved on Degree Works. More information can be found on the Degree Works website.
