Notes:

1) A maximum of 3 credits can be used from the BME 296/396/496 series of classes towards fulfilling technical elective requirements.

2) Honors college students cannot use BME 296/396/496 to count towards fulfilling technical elective requirements.

3) You should work w/ the Academic advisor to ensure you are meeting the required number of Technical Electives.

4) If you would like to use a course for a Technical Elective, that is not offered in the above list, you will need to complete a Alternative Tech Elective Form which can be found online.

5) These technical electives may or may not be offered every year. Please consult with the Department and confirm whether a class will be available the semester you are considering it.
