Biomedical Engineering Limited Access Request-to-Continue Form

The Biomedical Engineering program is a limited-access program, meaning there are a limited number of spaces available and students must meet specific requirements in order to be considered for continuation into the upper-division of the major.


All students should meet the following minimum requirements to be considered for continuation into the upper-division of the BME program:

  • Current USF student or accepted to USF as an upper-level transfer student.
  • Minimum cumulative 3.5 GPA in the prerequisite courses (best attempt) (listed here: pre-requisite courses);
  • Minimum grade of C in each prerequisite course;
  • No more than two attempts allowed for the prerequisite courses (withdrawals included);
  • Completed BME departmental online application.
  • Submit an essay (more information below)

 

The following continuation requirements will also apply:

  • Completion of the first three semesters of the BME plan of study by the end of the third semester after matriculation to the University with a minimum 3.2 cumulative GPA for those semesters;*
  • Minimum cumulative 3.2 GPA in all College of Engineering courses by the end of the fourth semester of the BME plan of study.

 

*Upper-level transfer students are exempt from this requirement but should meet the GPA requirements for both the pre-requisite courses (3.5) and Engineering courses (3.2).
