NOTE FROM THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Biomedical Engineering Technology program is from the previous catalogs, going back to 2012, is a very rigorous program. We are always looking to update the program to keep up with industry. Whenever possible, we try to stay ahead of it. For example, we were lucky enough to purchase the Ventilators "V60" from Respironics, prior to the hospitals. This put our students ahead of the curve.
