Programs

The School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems currently offers B.S. degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems and Technology. If exceptional ability and academic achievement are on your list of high school accomplishments, you can make the most of your Drexel degree with our Honors Program, and opportunties for accelerated studies, dual degrees, and combined bachelor's/master's programs. If you are planning to continue your studies in medical school, law school, or another professional or graduate program, Drexel can offer special counseling to ensure that you gain the right preparation as an undergraduate.

Entrance Requirements

Applicants to Drexel University are expected to have completed the high school curriculum that will best prepare them for freshmen-year studies in their academic field of choice. If you are applying to the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems the prerequisites are four years of mathematics (algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry) and two years of laboratory science (biology, chemistry, or physics). An interview, mid-year grades, and/or additional testing may be requested at the discretion of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Decisions are made without respect to need for financial aid.

Drexel operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means that each applicant will be notified about the admission decision as soon as possible after the applicant's file becomes complete. A complete file consists of the student's application, SAT or ACT scores, high school transcripts, and two letters of recommendation.

Financial Aid

You have made up your mind to apply–you're qualified and you are interested in Drexel. Now, it's all a question of money. Drexel 's Office of Financial Aid will do everything possible to make your education here affordable for you and your family. More than eighty percent of Drexel undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid, with yearly awards totaling $42 million. The aid may be in the form of an academic merit scholarship, a Drexel grant, work-study employment, or any combination of the above. Freshmen and transfer students may apply for the A. J. Drexel Scholarship, which is an achievement-based award with a renewable value of up to $8,000 per year. Drexel participates in all major state and federal aid programs, and strongly encourages students to apply for University scholarships, our more than 120 endowed scholarships, and work-study awards.

Drexel also offers something most colleges and universities can't – co-op salaries – and they can make a significant difference (salaries for six-month paying internships vary by major, but average around $15,000 for biomedical engineering students). Many Drexel families apply this money toward the cost of tuition, books, and living expenses.
