<p>Is biomedical engineering offered as an undergrad major at MIT? I want to do pre-med and biomedical engineering.</p>
<p>MIT offers biological engineering as a major and biomedical engineering as a minor. As far as I know, the difference is mostly a name issue rather than a content issue, but anyone who knows more should feel free to correct me.</p>
<p>The biological engineering department's undergraduate requirements can be found [url=<a href="http://web.mit.edu/be/education/index.htm#ugrad%5Dhere%5B/url">http://web.mit.edu/be/education/index.htm#ugrad]here[/url</a>].</p>
<p>At MIT a large number of chemical engineering majors are focused on biomedical engineering and proceed to medical school. Pr. Langer's lab is the single largest biomedical lab in the world.

<p>To continue the above - there is chemical-biological engineering (10B) which is a major within chemical engineering. This is separate from biological engineering.</p>
<p>The flexible Course 2-A (2 = Mechanical Engineering) also provides recommendations on how to have "Biomedical engineering and Pre-medicine" (a.k.a. "Exactly what Analys1s is looking for") as your concentration.</p>

<p>^2A is the course taken by Melis, the blogger and recent graduate -- and she won a Rhodes scholarship and is heading to Harvard Med after her time in England, ergo it's a great option. :D</p>
<p>If I'm not mistaken, she's actually doing HST, isn't she?</p>
