<p>I was wondering if anyone knew if biomedical engineering at UNC is any good. I know it is relatively new, but the fact that they have a hospital to back up the program seems to put some credit to it. And, also, how much does ABET matter in biomedical engineering, especially for graduate school admissions.</p>

<p>That ranking is from 11 years ago, and the program has gotten better since then.</p>

<p>Are there any more recent rankings?</p>

<p>Why is UNC not present in this year's rankings? How could they fall so low from 17th?</p>
