Accreditation in Biomedical Engineering

BMES is proud to be the lead organization responsible for accrediting biomedical engineering programs worldwide. In partnership with ABET—the premier global accreditor of programs in applied and natural sciences, computing, engineering, and engineering technology—we ensure that biomedical engineering students receive a top-tier education that prepares them for impactful careers.

BMES and ABET Partnership

ABET relies on nonprofit societies, like BMES, to uphold the rigorous standards required for program accreditation. BMES provides expertise and leadership in setting accreditation criteria, ensuring that biomedical engineering programs meet the demands of the field and produce engineers ready to tackle real-world challenges.

In addition to accrediting programs across the United States, BMES extends its efforts globally, helping biomedical engineering schools achieve and maintain accreditation standards wherever they may be located. This global reach underscores BMES’s commitment to advancing the field of biomedical engineering worldwide.

Accreditation by the Numbers

BMES has contributed to the accreditation of 199 biomedical engineering programs, supporting the academic and professional success of countless students. These efforts ensure that biomedical engineers are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to innovate and lead in their field.
