The following is a list of schools that offer BMET (Biomedical Equipment Technicians or Biomedical Engineering Technology ) programs. There are a couple of certificates in the list. The majority are associate degrees. This list contains both accredited and unaccredited programs. Accredited programs are reviewed by ABET, Inc. on a regular basis and as a result have a higher assurance that they will be up on the latest industry requirements. ( See List of Schools Offering Accredited BMET Programs and Biomedical Engineering Technology ) If you are interested in designing new biomedical products an engineering program is more appropriate. Biomedical Engineering programs which incorporate a strong electrical, mechanical, software ( computational biology or bioinformatics ) or chemical engineering core which include at least two senior level courses in that core are recommended. I can help find those programs for a reasonable fee. Simply contact me by clicking the contact form under the copyright notice to the left.

I am grateful to you for sharing a list of schools that offer BMET programs. I actually have a son who is planning to have a career in the said field, and the list you’ve provided would definitely give us a lot of options on where he would most likely want to take the said program. Thanks for sharing this again.

Thank you. I truly appreciate the feedback. It’s my distinct pleasure to provide you and the readers of this blog information they can use to make informed decisions about the BMET field. My most recent post on the number of graduates in 2016 reports the Bureau of Labor predictions for jobs in the field and it is very good. The job prediction greatly exceeds the current degree graduation rates plus certificates. The aging BMET’s are beginning to disappear at rapid rate. I’ll be posting on the subject in the future.

I am a veteran looking for a BMET program in the greater Boston area. Because of requirements of the veterans reentry assistance program (vrap) the school cannot offer a four year degree. Can you help.

Type in MA (for Massachusetts) and hit enter key. There is only one community college that offers a BMET program in my 2010 BMET database.

Hello Mike,
I am surprised that there isn’t an A.S. degree offered in your area. Whatever you decide make sure that you will get a lot of hands on experience in the labs and an internship opportunity specific to the degree. Also ask for names of the companies that provided the internships. Finally ask about the percentage of recent graduates that got jobs with the degree you are interested in getting. You may also wish to go to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and look at job projections for automation related positions.

P.S. I just added a new selection under the BMET tab at the Academic Program Information Resource blog which will allow you to check by state the number of schools that had BMET graduates in 2010.

already done an internet search the only programs in Az that I can find is At Devry which is super expensive and in my opinion overrated as a school since I studied electronics there and Brown Mackie which doesn’t have national accreditation

Dear Anonymous,
If that is the case you need to do a search on the surrounding states. Check to see just whether their success rate is in placing graduates. You can also check the number of graduates in 2010 at Academic Program Information Resource if they reported it.
