Hi, I am a junior wanting to major in Biomechanical Engineering.
I know that biomechanical engineering is not offered to undergraduates, so I am going to take mechanical engineering first.
But I want to know which schools have good programs relevant to biomechanical engineering…research and stuff like that.
Could you guys give me some recommendations?
Stanford has biomechanical engineering undergrad. Not sure who else does.
University of Kansas offers a biomechanics focus for undergrads within the mechanical engineering department. You’ll do all the same coursework as other ME’s and will get the same degree, but you will take 4 biomechanics classes for your electives (with the opportunity to take more, if you have the time). There is quite a bit of biomechanics research going on.

Johns Hopkins does.
UMich has a Sequential Undergraduate program for MechE and BME that you get both BSE and MSE in 5 years or less (149+ credits).
