<p>anyone know anything about the program?</p>
<p>Apparently it was a pretty good program (since it didn't get cut) but I predict that it'll flounder a bit for a year or two without the other engineering programs. Just my thoughts.</p>
<p>so biomed eng is the only engineering program left? i'm not so up-to-date w/ tulane....i haven't even visited yet....</p>
<p>Biomed and chem/biomolecular are the two majors left. I know that there are 2 concentrations within biomed. Forgive me for not remembering what they are. I believe one had to do less with biological matter than the other.</p>
<p>When I was at Tulane over spring break I had dinner at the honors weekend with a biomed professor. I just looked for his card, but I cannot find it so I can't tell you his name, but when I was talking to him he said that the fact that all the resources and supplies for so many other engineering majors are coming to just two or three is actually going to help them a lot. He thinks that Tulane is going to have a lot more sucess then ever before in these areas. He also said these majors have always been strong.</p>
<p>I think sarah_mc is probably right. The biomed program has been very highly ranked (#4 maybe?). The faculty are very strong; hearing their presentations last year at Eng. Scholars Day was very exciting. It's my guess that the loss of the other Engineering programs will not adversely affect BiomedE and ChemE. They will be housed in a new division of Tulane (part of its restructuring) called the College of Science and Engineering. The current Dean of Engineering will be the Dean of this new college (Dean Altiero). IMO, he is a great guy. I wish my S were a Biomed or ChemE guy. Unfortunately, he is EE - so it is either out of E to Physics or out of Tulane to a transfer school for him.</p>
<p>U.S. News and World Report ranked Tulane University's undergraduate biomedical/biomedical engineering program 21st in the nation. The graduate-level biomedical/bioengineering program is ranked 24th.</p>
<p>This was published in 2004. Link below.</p>
<p>thanks!!!!</p>
<p>One other note, which may or may not be of interest to you: In January when he moved back in, my son spoke to a prof/head of dept about his desire to double in neuroscience and biomed. He was told that doing so would have been difficult before but would be much easier now because of the changes.</p>
<p>also if you have a felxible, open interest in medicine, Tulane has recently opened up its graduate level public health school to undergrads. there are only 13 students in the program this year, but the opportunities at this size are unlimited. the program is on the forefront, i would highly suggest to anyone who is interested to really look into it
