<p>Is biomedical engineering a 5 year degree?</p>

<p>I ask because I was offered a be on time loan
basically if I take this loan and I graduate on time it will be deferred or in other words forgiven and I won't have to pay it back. The best part is that I can get one for every semester.</p>

<p>Now if I get accepted into BME I need to know if i have an extra year to finish all of my classes or if I'm going to need to take summer classes and maybe squeeze an extra class into a semester. </p>

<p>If it's not a 5 year plan...I dunno if I would take the loan because I might not be able to handle 16-18 hour semesters.</p>

<p>its a really packed 4 year degree, but yea, meant to be done in 4 years. Here’s the degree plan in case you havent seen it</p>

<p>yeah I’ve seen that. It seems kind of unrealistic to expect students to do good and finish in that short amount of time…looks like im gonna be taking summer classes</p>

<p>I looked at the architectural engineering that is officially a 5 year plan and its within 6 credits of the BME plan
thats like 2 classes less…hardly a whole year longer</p>
