This is the preliminary (or launch) version of the 2025-2026 VCU Bulletin. Courses that expose students to cutting-edge content and transformative learning may be added and notification of additional program approvals may be received prior to finalization. General education program content is also subject to change. The final edition and full PDF version will include these updates and will be available in August prior to the beginning of the fall semester.
The minor in biomedical engineering may be completed by any student with an interest in the subject. The minor will aid in preparing students for work in related medical fields or for graduate study in biomedical engineering.
