The Biocomputational Engineering Degree is offered at the Universities at Shady Grove campus, located in Rockville, MD. The BCE degree differs from the bioengineering program in that it offers a multidisciplinary curriculum that includes statistics, data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, and programming in addition to the fundamentals of physics, chemistry, and biology.
The BCE degree program admits transfer students that have completed an Associate’s Degree/60 credits in Engineering or a closely related STEM field. Instruction for the remaining 60 credits required to earn a B.S. degree will take place within the newly-constructed Biomedical Sciences and Engineering Educational Facility (BSE) on the Shady Grove Campus. The BSE is a six-level, 220,000 square foot LEED Platinum certified facility equipped with world-class research and educational facilities. The building features state-of-the-art teaching laboratories, active learning classrooms, and product design spaces for student research.
Women, minorities, LGBTQ+, veterans, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply.
