Change of Curriculum Applicants

Current Texas A&M students interested in changing their major to Biomedical Engineering should apply through the Change of Major Requests channel in  Howdy.

For deadline information, refer to  Rule 5 of the student rules.

The department will only review eligible applications for the upcoming semester if they are submitted by the last business day before the first day of classes. Applications submitted after this deadline will not be considered and must be resubmitted for the following semester.

To be eligible for consideration, students must complete each of the classes below with a grade of "C" or better. Effective fall 2023, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 at Texas A&M University. In addition, a minimum GPA of 3.5 in the below list of classes is required.

Meeting these minimum requirements does not guarantee admission, as space in the department is limited. Rather, these students will be evaluated by an undergraduate admissions committee on other aspects of the application, including but not limited to essays, achievements and activities.
