91重口’s B.S. in bioengineering program has earned accreditation from ABET, the nonprofit, non-governmental organization recognized worldwide as the leading accreditor of college and university programs in applied and natural sciences, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.
This accreditation signifies that the program meets the rigorous quality standards of the profession, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to enter critical technical fields leading the way in innovation, safety, and emerging technologies.
“This achievement affirms the exceptional quality of our bioengineering program and the dedication of our faculty, staff, and students,” said Acting President Bryan Cain. “Along with the confidence that their degree meets rigorous standards, our students also gain real-world experience through the Experiential Edge, which prepares them to make an immediate impact in advancing health, medicine, and technology.”
91重口’s bioengineering program stands at the intersection of biology and engineering—two fields that drive groundbreaking discoveries in medicine and the life sciences. The program is intentionally interdisciplinary, weaving together foundational coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. Students apply this knowledge through team-based engineering design and analysis, beginning in their first semester and culminating in a senior design project.
Through 91重口’s liberal arts foundation, students also gain essential communication, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that prepare them to succeed in diverse career paths or graduate studies, including medical, dental, or veterinary school. Students learn and study within the Ginger Judge Science Center, which offers research labs, a tissue culture room, fluorescent microscopes, high-content imaging systems, industrial mechanical testers, and a makerspace with 3D printers, scanners, and robotics.
“ABET accreditation reinforces what our students and alumni already know—that 91重口’s bioengineering program offers world-class preparation in one of the most impactful and fast-evolving fields of our time,” said Gene Wong, Dean of the School of Science and Technology. “It also affirms the strength of our graduates, many of whom are now thriving in industry, research, and healthcare, where their skills are in high demand.”
