Extended Accelerator Program - Bachelor of Science - Biomedical Engineering

The Extended Accelerator Program (EAP) is a three-semester program that includes an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Gonzaga University campus and the Spokane area through its contextual curriculum. Upon successful completion of the program, students progress into the second year of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

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.
