Schoolcraft program code #AAS.0P128/AAS.00128
The biomedical engineering technologist (BMET) program is designed to develop technicians able to maintain and service medical electronic equipment in hospitals, pathological and hematological laboratories, and industries engaged in the manufacture and sale of medical electronic equipment. The program is divided into two components. The first year (three semesters) culminates in an electronic technology certificate. For candidates to be eligible to apply for the second year of the program they must meet the following qualifications:
- Achieve a minimum GPA of 2.5 in BIOL 105 - Basic Human Anatomy and Physiology .
- Successfully complete all admission prerequisite courses listed below.
Candidates who have met these conditions must be approved by the BMET Internship Coordinator before registering in BMET 117 , BMET 205 , BMET 256 , or BMET 257 . Due to the limited availability of worksites, candidates who have met these conditions will be prioritized for admission into the BMET sequence based on the following elements: BMET application date, overall GPA, and position in the sequence of program courses. Students must complete internships to be eligible to fulfill program requirements. Students who satisfactorily complete all college and program requirements qualify for an associate of applied science degree.
This program requires students to complete a specific list of requirements before being officially admitted into the program. Students are listed in a pre-program code while the application requirements are being met. The full program start date and implementation of the program code may be dependent on space availability. Requirements are listed online at https://www.schoolcraft.edu/admissions/apply-to-sc/students-with-selective-admissions/ or the Biomedical Engineering Technology Program Application Information .
