Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University is the first research university in the United States. Johns Hopkins University ranks No. 6 among national universities in the U.S. News & World Report rankings. Its Biomedical Engineering (BME) graduate programs have earned the No. 1 ranking from the U.S. News & World Report, marking over 30 consecutive years at the top since 1992, when U.S. News began ranking specialty disciplines. The program greatly benefits from the close integration of the Whiting School of Engineering and the School of Medicine to advance technology development and impact medicine and healthcare. The Johns Hopkins BME community is vibrant, collaborative, and filled with exciting research opportunities.
