Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering

We are proud to be a university that's continuously growing and making positive changes for our students and the community. Our achievements are a testament to our dedicated faculty and staff and the cutting-edge programs they develop; our talented students, who continue to be engaged members of the community; and our alumni, who consistently become leaders in their chosen fields.

In 2026, the University of New Haven was ranked a top-tier university in the North region by U.S. News & World Report in its annual "Best Colleges" rankings. And, for the 10th year in a row, we have been recognized as one of the nation's best institutions for undergraduate education by The Princeton Review. In addition, our Tagliatela College of Engineering is rated among the top third in the country in our category in U.S. News' rankings of the best undergraduate engineering programs.

Our Pompea College of Business is accredited by AACSB International, placing it among the Top 6 Percent Worldwide. We are also a proud member of The New American Colleges and Universities (NAC&U), an exclusive national consortium of selective, small to mid-size (2,000-7,500 students) independent colleges and universities that are dedicated to the purposeful integration of liberal education, professional studies, and civic engagement.

The artists of the renaissance were also engineers. They had to be. Only an engineer could have designed and built the Duomo in Florence. No matter what field of engineering you pursue, the engineering marvels of Florence are a must-see and a must-study. By spending your spring semester at our campus in Prato, Italy — 15 minutes by train from Florence — you will become immersed in the miraculous feats of centuries past and in the day-to-day rhythm of life and culture in modern-day Italy. You’ll expand your horizons as you travel beyond Florence to Pisa, Lucca, and Siena. You’ll see the famed marble mines, from which so much Carrara marble was excavated for the temples of ancient Rome and the sculptures that seem almost to breathe.

Best of all, while you’re marveling at the splendor around you, your engineering curriculum will proceed without interruption. The courses you take in Prato will fulfill your graduation requirements. Not many engineering students can make study abroad part of their college experience, due to the strict progression of courses that must build upon each other. But the University of New Haven found a way.

The University of New Haven’s 74,000+ alumni are some of the most involved in the country and have an intense interest in current students and helping them succeed after graduation. Our engineering alumni work across the country and around the world for Fortune 500 companies, small companies and start-ups, with the majority employed in the Northeast. That puts many of them right in our backyard, a definite plus when it comes to networking for nearby job opportunities.

These are just some of the companies that employ our engineering graduates:

• Sikorsky
• Boeing
• Chevron
• Mitre
• Yale-New Haven Hospital
• O & G Industries
• Honeywell
• Bose
• Raytheon
• Samsung
• IBM
• General Dynamics
• Electric Boat
• Intel

What it is: A community for future engineers who love solving problems and building ideas.

Community focus: Innovation, teamwork, and real-world design thinking.

Experiential learning: Engineering ELC students connect classroom concepts to real systems through site visits, design-focused challenges, and faculty-guided exploration of how engineering principles show up in everyday environments.

Adventures: Past Engineering ELC students visited Six Flags New England to explore how real-world engineering principles come to life through roller coasters and large-scale amusement rides, examining the physics behind motion, speed, and force, learning how mechanical systems are designed to withstand extreme stress, and discovering how engineers use data, modeling, and testing to ensure rider safety. After breaking down the science, students experienced it firsthand — riding the coasters they just studied and seeing engineering in action at full speed.
