Students interested in declaring any major in the College of Engineering must first meet with an advisor in their preferred major to review eligibility requirements. To request a meeting, please email engradvise@vcu.edu and include your name, V#, and major of interest.

Major (concentration)	Eligibility Requirements to Declare Major
Biomedical Engineering	VCU GPA of 3.0 or greater, with a minimum of 12 VCU credit hours earned. Completion of MATH 200, MATH 201, BIOL 151, and BIOZ 151, all with grades of "B" or higher. If attempted, CHEM 101, CHEZ 101, MATH 301, MATH 310, and PHYS 207 all must be completed with a grade of "B" or higher. All requirements must be completed in fewer than 56 VCU credit hours. These are the requirements for assured admission; however, Engineering reviews all applying students and considers admission to the major on a case by case basis.
