Academic Accelerator Program - Bachelor of Science - Biomedical Engineering

The Academic Accelerator Program (AAP) is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, while includes the benefit of English-language and student support to help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and AAP-exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills they need to excel in their coursework.

Biomedical engineers design the technology that improves health care. Gonzaga's new degree program blends a SEAS engineering and computer science curriculum with courses in biology, human physiology, and biochemistry. Engineers use knowledge from the sciences and medical profession to design new products or tools that can advance medical care.

As the technical courses show students how living and non-living systems interact, these Gonzaga core courses guide students through biomedical engineering's ethical dimensions. Rooted in the Jesuit philosophy of critical thinking and care of the whole person, the Gonzaga degree experience prepares students to make a meaningful impact in healthcare technology.
