Freshman Students
Students intending to complete a Bioengineering: Premedical major are initially identified as Pre-Bioengineering: Premedical majors and admitted into a pre-major status. Pre-Bioengineering: Premedical majors who have achieved a GPA of 3.0 or better in eight required pre-major courses (Mathematics 20A-B-C; Physics 2A-B; Chemistry 6A; MAE 9 or 10; and one other course required in the major) by the end of the freshman year, are assured of admission into the Bioengineering: Premedical major. Upon satisfaction of these requirements, students need to contact the Student Affairs Office, room 141 PFBH (Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall) to receive instructions on completing a web-based "Admission to Major" form.

Transfer Students
Students are initially identified as "pre-majors" and will be admitted to the Bioengineering: Premedical major based on academic performance in ten required pre-major courses. It is expected that students will have completed or have in progress all ten pre-major courses when applying to UCSD. Students are required to achieve a GPA of 3.0 or better in the ten pre-major courses (Mathematics 20A-B-C; Physics 2A-B; Chemistry 6A; MAE 9 or 10, and three other courses required by the major) by the end of the third quarter of study at UCSD. Note: Two of the pre-major courses must be taken at UCSD, one of which must be an upper-division (100 series) course. Upon satisfaction of these requirements, students need to contact the Student Affairs Office, room 141 PFBH (Powell-Focht Bioengineering Hall) to receive instructions on completing a web-based "Admission to Major" form.
